Paracord & Paraline (Parachute Cord), and Lanyards 
Rewrap those old knives, machetes, Japanese swords, and camp shovels that are laying around. 
Got a blade that has a handle too small for your mitt? Wrap a layer of Paracord or Paraline over the handle and get some life out of it. 
Keep a couple of paracord hanks around for hiking, camping, fishing.  
Hard to find in most areas, especially colors 
Hanks are wound, tied, and bagged so you can toss them into your bug-out bag.  
Hang loop is tied onto paracord coil so you can attach the hank to your backpack. 
A must in your survival gear bag! Great for hanging tarps!

Many years of sampling paracord & paraline from other manufacturers has convinced us to remain with our original USA manufacturer who produces very high quality product. We could use and sell imported cord for half-price but the quality is questionable and we refuse to sell junk. 
We carry the 2 most versatile types of paracord and paraline used for non-critical applications: 
• 650 Nylon Paraline is used on TAK Training Knives since the fluffy core creates a smoother, fuller wrap. It can also be used for hiking, camping duties, lanyards, shoe & boot laces, zipper pulls, or key fobs. 
• 550 Type 3 Paracord is preferred for survival kits primarily due to the tightly wound 7 strands and higher strength rating. They are more suited for making fishing lures & lines, emergency first aid, creating lean-tos, hoisting food in trees at camp sites, repairing tears or rips.  
The difference between 550 Type 3 and MIL-C-5040 Type 3 is the testing. 550 Type 3 is spot checked for manufacturing quality for non-critical applications. MIL-C-5040 Type 3 undergoes strict testing and record keeping on each batch and is used for critical applications. 
Other than the testing, there is no difference between 550 Type 3 Paracord and MIL-C-5040 Type 3 Paracord.
