The Lanyard Shop was fascinated by the process of perfecting the handle and strategically shaping the blade. This obsession defines every step of their process. Each knife starts with a large sheet of stainless steel or high carbon steel that they purchase from a plant in Illinois. As they work on these final carvings they are more aware than ever of their commitment to you. They are the end result of a process that is always guided by their experience working in a particular operational community constant attention to detail and everything they do.
