This Spyderco McBee is only about 2 1/4" long closed. I made a little fob for it today. Makes it easier to find in my pocket.

I finally got some knife slips made. ::ds:: I had two (first picture) that a friend gave to me :wink: but I needed some more because I usually have 4-5 knives in my pockets. ::super_happy::

So I have a few of them finished now in various sizes. (pictures 2, 3 + 4) :D
I cut em out & my daughter Lorelai sews em for me. ::tu:: ::super_happy::

And I have a few more (17) already cut out waiting to be sewn up.(pictures 5, 6 + 7) ::tu:: :D
And a lot of cloth left over for some more. :lol: ::super_happy::

Thanks for looking! ::handshake:: ::nod::

Thanks TPK. No, they aren't hard to tie, although the smaller cord makes the process go a little slower. I don't know of a utube video, but there probably is one.
I will make a fob right now and attach some photos that may help you more than my verbal instructions. I just tie the loop knot and then braid a simple cobra braid around the core strands. Braid down to the desired length, then turn it upside down and braid another row of cobra knots back up to the the beginning loop knot. Then, trim and burn the four ends. It is similar to the process that you would use for a king cobra bracelet braid. This micro cord melts quickly... doesn't take much heat to do the job.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
