Why don't you just drill a hole in the handle crimp a loop of nylon coated wire through it then put another loop at the other end with a carabina? Chances are you already have that stuff laying around. I did it years ago for my boga grips & pliers.
Coiled tangles on itself & I've had retractables fail repeatedly.
Shimka, I can do as you suggest but the idea is not to have loose cord all over that I can trip over. The shortest is to use a retractable but coiled can work as a coil less than 300mm will stretch to a metre and that'll be sufficient. 300mm dangling on a holster is fine. Retractables that are saltwater proof seem more expensive than coiled as I can adapt coiled electrical cord or usb which I think I am going to do in the end as this is almost free.
Retractables with kevlar cord avail if you want one.

if only there was a more heavy duty retractable one, those officeswipe ones aare only good for little cards. Something with 2 mm cord would do great!
