More Paracord Bracelet

The parachute cord I ordered from eBay arrived yesterday so I made more bracelets for giveaway to friends. Before I only have Olive Drab and Black paracord, now I have Neon Orange, White and Maroon. Red is out of stock from my eBay supplier.


Here they are. Two are with plastic buckles the rest have button clasp.


This is one my favorites, combination of Neon Orange, Olive Drab and Black.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.

Paracord Bracelet

Parachute cord or any rope or cord for that matter, is one important item in survival. It can be used for making shelter - to tie down your tarp, tent etc. It can be used for making bow for hunting or bow for making fire. Paracord has inner strands that you can pull out and use as fishing line, thread for repairing your clothing or your tarp. I always have a paracord in my bag together with other essentials for survival.


One way of carrying paracord with you is to make a bracelet out of it. That way it is always in your person ready to use when you need it.

Two paracord bracelets I made with buckles I bought from eBay. It's easy to make, took me just a few minutes to make one.


This bracelet has about 7 feet of paracord in it. All you have to do is unwound the bracelet to use it.

Kiridashi from TOPS Knives

Another utility knife I have acquired from TOPS knives. It is called ALRT, stands for Anywhere Last Resort Tool. I find it quite handy for opening boxes at work.


The knife shown with certificate of authenticity. It comes with a button flashlight and a TOPS whistle.


Blade Length: 1 3/8" O/A Length: 3 1/2" Thickness: 3/16" Blade Color: Black Traction Coating Steel: 1095 High Carbon Alloy RC-58 Handle: Skeletonized Sheath: Kydex With Snap link and Neck Chain Weight: 3.1oz Weight W/ Sheath: 3.7oz Mfg. Handcrafted in the USA


Kiridashi style knife with double V grind.


The button flashlight attached to the lanyard hole with a ball chain. Very useful small utility knife.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.

Neck Lance

I have seen this knife on several occasions before but I was not really interested in it because it looks quite fragile with its glass filled nylon handle and sheath. But when I saw the video of gavkoo and the mods he made on it, I realized it was a good quality affordable knife.


Comes in a hang package. Made in China.


6 1/8" OAL, 3" 440 stainless blade with bead blast finish. Black glass filled nylon handle with lanyard hole. Black glass filled nylon sheath with neck lanyard.


Three finger grip. Light and comfortable in the hands.


I'm sure ultralight backpackers would love this knife.


The necklance in its glass filled nylon sheath. Very good retention, no way the knife would fall out of the sheath on its own.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.

LRK

Maybe you're wondering what LRK stands for. It means Last Resort Knife, the name of the knife I bought from John Kiedaisch, a knifemaker from Mokena, Illinois. He owns JK Knives.




Simplicity is beauty - and for me nothing could be as simple and beautiful as this knife. Made of O1 steel, 4 1/2 overall length.


Convex edge with micro bevel, feels just right in my hands.


A close up of the blade and John's all too familiar logo. More pictures of the LRK here


The LRK together with my EDC. One of my highly prized and well, highly priced collection.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
