Paracord can be used as a cutting tool (for example, as a friction saw). A rope cut can be used to cut another part of a paracord or similar material, such as nylon or a thin strap. Just drive him from side to side, and he will cut a path for himself.

Let's continue: if you have enough rope, you can create a rope with an even larger diameter, weaving a paracord manually or using simple weaving, as shown in these examples. Since a 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 weaving.
