These beads are crafted from whitetail deer antler with a single 5/16-inch hole drilled through the center to accept common lanyard cords. The outside of the bead surface is lightly polished to showcase the natural character.

Functionally, a lanyard bead serves as both a decorative accent and an extension of the knife’s handle. They add texture or bulk to the end of the lanyard, making it easier to hold the knife. A bead at the end of the lanyard also acts as a "pull tab", making it easier to extract the knife from its sheath or pocket.

Symbolically, it represents nature, hunting, and wilderness. Each antler bead is unique due to variations in antler growth patterns and coloration. Overall, this whitetail deer antler lanyard bead adds a touch of rustic elegance to your knife, connecting you to the outdoors and the natural world.
