Parachute Cord, also called Paracord or 550 Cord, is a lightweight nylon kernmantle rope originally used in the suspension lines of US parachutes during World War II. It is now used as a general purpose utility cord by both military personnel and civilians. The soft braided outer shell is durable yet cushioned, allowing this cord to be flexible so it is the perfect wrap for knife handles, spears and survival gear. The braided sheath has a high number of interwoven strands for its size, giving it
Very nice,
This stuff seems fairly close to the quality of the 550 cord I used in the military. Earlier I ordered some cheap stuff on ebay for not much less and it clearly paled in comparison.

I think I got a few feet of extra cord. Gotta like that!
I have ordered from this company a few times and it arrives right on time.
The ends aren’t burned/sealed. Just cut,… so the internal strands peak out the ends.
Just a note… when I burn the ends with a lighter it gets black and wider than the cord. What I usually do is quickly grab the end with my fingers and twist. But this cord gets hotter than other manufacturers. It scorches the skin! Maybe I will try a wet papertowel instead of my fingers next time.
