Strong and reliable enough to have been used by paratroopers during WWII, this cord rope will hold 550 pounds of force. You may want this paracord keychain to hold all your keys or to hang around your neck on an outdoor expedition but some day you might need it for something else. Seven nylon core strands are covered in a nylon sheathing exterior making this paracord stronger than conventional rope. Looping this rope multiple times will multiply it's holding capacity. Tightly weaved red and black braid, the keychain necklace is tied into a cobra stitched combining two sections around a key ring forming a tactical keychain on one end and a large necklace loop on the other end.
Completely weather-proof and water or moisture resilient, this nylon cord will last more than a decade and still counting. Do not settle for any other paracord except Atlanta Slings & Things name brand for reliability and longevity under any conditions. Buying a 9.84 foot length is great for all projects and can be cut to fit. Peace of mind comes from a piece of 550 paracord.
Paracord was first deployed on the battlefield as actual parachute cord during World War II. Soldiers on the battlefield found it is very strong and has hundreds or thousands of uses. Not long after, the term “Paracord” was dubbed in reference to this type of rope. Now, it is even weaved into cobra stitched patterns and worn as a necklace or keychain when going on a hiking trip through the mountains.
