Paracord can be used as a cutting tool (for example, as a friction saw). The rope section can be used to cut another piece of parakord or similar material, for example, nylon or a thin strap. Just drive him from side to side, and he will cut his way.

Let's continue: if you have enough rope, you can create a rope with an even bigger diameter, spinning parakord manually, or with a simple weaving, as shown in these examples. Since the standard paracord can withstand a load of 550 pounds, the resulting rope with a large diameter will have a strength of 550 times more per rope in the weave.
