History of lanyards
While custom lanyards are common today, many people don't realize the long history of this useful tool. Lanyards have always referred to a piece of rope or cord used to hold items, and the first instance of lanyards was in 1626, when it was used as a term for a nautical device to tie down items on a ship. European military troops in the 19th century began using lanyards to hold knives. They were originally designed to be worn around the waist, but mounted soldiers found it too cumbersome to wear while riding and quickly switched to wearing them on their necks. These neck lanyards held knives in such a way that they were hidden from their enemies, making it one of the most useful tools on the battlefield.
