Knife / ax handle braiding with parakord
Parachute (English Parachute cord, paracord, for type 3 - 550 cord) is a lightweight polymer cable made of nylon, originally used in parachute lines. Paracord can be used for many other purposes, both military and civilian population.
The parakord shell is woven from a variety of interwoven fibers, due to which it is relatively smooth. Paracord made entirely of nylon is flexible enough.
Technical standards for the production of paracord are published by the Parachute Industry Association. The US Army Standard MIL-C-5040H allows the manufacture of a paracord only from nylon. Similar types of cables can be made from other materials, for example from polyester.
