Braided nylon parachute cord, with seven strands of nylon liner, can be used for fishing, snares, or sewing. The soft braided outer shell is durable yet cushioned, allowing this cord to be flexible so it is the perfect wrap for knife handles, spears, and survival gear. Mil-spec standard USA production and super quality.

Specifications:
Type III.
550 lb (249kg) minimum breaking strength.
30 % minimum elongation.
225 feet (69m) per lb, minimum.
7 core yarns.
32 strand sheath structure.

Parachute cord, also called paracord or 550 cord, is a lightweight nylon kernmantle rope originally used in the suspension lines of US parachutes during World War II. It is now used as a general purpose utility cord by both military personnel and civilians. The braided sheath has a high number of interwoven strands for its size, giving it a relatively smooth texture. The all nylon construction makes paracord fairly elastic.

US Military issue paracord is specified the MIL-C-5040H standard. The Mil-Spec specifies six types: I, IA, II, IIA, III, IV. Type III, the most common, is nominally rated with a minimum breaking strength of 550 pounds, thus the term "550 cord". The US military specification for paracord contains specific denier figures for the sheath strands and inner yarns, but there are no overall diameter requirements for the cord.

Reviewer: WASR10
This is the real 550 stuff. I bought 2 of these probably goin to buy more. We all know you can never have enough rope/cord.
5.0 Rating Nice!!! - 5/1/2011Paracord 550 Cord 1000 Foot Spool Black Commercial Seven Strand Nylon5.0000
Reviewer: Ready Prepper
This is the real deal! along with the OD and Coyote Brown, I've been able to make awesome multi-colored Solomon Bars, dog collars, snake rope bracelets, zipper pulls, belts (using MIL-1164 buckles), and various style lanyards. I even made the sling of King David. I wove it according to the ancient method. It's so simple any Sheppard boy could have done it in the field. It slings golf balls 100's of yards. The entire sling is woven with one 20ft strand of para cord. This is the stuff I remember from the infantry. I am well pleased.

I never got a bad deal from CTD, and this is no exception. It took just 4 days to get here. Once you get it, you'll wonder how you got along without it...sooooo many uses..the real stuff too, NOT a cheap imatation. Don't buy the small spool, go big !!!

Reviewer: Me
This is the real deal at a great price. I tacked this onto my order as an impulse buy just to see how much the shipping would increase. It only made it about a dollar more to ship this with my other four items, so I pulled the trigger. Glad I did. I don't use 550 cord a lot, so I'm saving this entire roll for now.

Reviewer: R Cray
THIS IS REAL PARA-CORD! My friend paid more for "parachute cord" from another company and got some cheap crap with some kind of polyester fuzz lining. This is actual parachute "550" cord. You will not be disappointed!
