Paracord or 550 paracord also called parachute cord is a lightweight nylon cord that was originally used in parachute suspension lines in the USA during the Second World War. It is now used as a general-purpose utility cord by the military and civilians. The braided sheath is composed of a large number of threads for its size which gives it a relatively smooth appearance. The 7 inner strands of the core can be removed and also used when the need for a thinner cord is felt. US paracord for the military is specific to the MIL-C-5040H standard. US military specifications define 6 types of paracord: I, IA, II, IIA, III, IV. Type III is the most commonly used, it has a breaking strength of around 550 pounds, hence its name paracord 550. Outside of its original area of ​​use, paracord can be used for making all kinds of braiding : Bracelets, survival bracelets, key rings, knife handles, wrist straps, shoe laces, belts, necklaces, animal harnesses, etc. It is an aesthetic, resistant, very flexible cord, pleasant to braid, tie and untie.
