First, what you're describing there is a knife lanyard knot, not a Turk's head. I use it on lanyards all the time.
My favorite knots that I use often are the double figure eight loop on a bight, which I use for belay lines on ropes courses, the daisy chain (great for bundling up webbing), the alpine butterfly loop, the Siberian hitch (for tying a tarp ridgeline), the tautline hitch (other end of the ridgeline), Prusik knot (for attaching the tarp to the ridgeline, along with a myriad of other uses), the adjustable grip hitch for things like tent stake lines, the mooring hitch, the carrick bend, the Ashley bend, the water knot, the good old bowline, overhand or double-overhand slipknot, double bowline, Eskimo bowline, square knot, surgeons knot, clove hitch, timber hitch, Turk's head (usually a three-lead four-bight), Chinese button knot, bowstring knot (a really neat adjustable loop), the cobra stitch, single-strand braid, round plait, crown and wall knots, diamond knot, reverse crown, and such for lanyards or fobs, the stopper knot, bottle sling knot (admittedly not often used, but cool enough to keep in mind), plank hitch, highwayman's hitch and various other quick-release hitches, the wagoner's or trucker's hitch, and sundry others I can't remember the names of offhand.
I'm, um, kind of a knot geek, I guess you could say. If that's possible.
