Looking for advice on lanyard beads for knives. I’m building out a few paracord lanyards for both fixed blades and folders, and I want beads that add function—not just flash. I’ve seen all kinds: titanium, brass, wood, micarta… even skull-shaped ones. Do any of these actually help with grip or retrieval, or is it mostly about looks? I’m not opposed to spending a little more if it’s high quality, but I don’t want to overpay for hype. Any recommendations on materials that hold up well to outdoor use or EDC abuse?
Thanks
