550 Paracord 100ft - Thin Blue Line - Atwood Rope

Thin Blue Line 550 Cord

This is a 100-foot hank of 550 paracord from Atwood Rope, made in the USA and woven in a Thin Blue Line pattern of black, gray and blue. Paracord is the nylon utility line that started out on parachute rigging, and it is now the default cord for lashing, guy lines, gear repair and braided projects like bracelets, lanyards and knife-handle wraps. A hundred feet covers several crafting builds or gives you a solid reserve for the pack, truck or bug-out bag. The colorway is a popular choice for law enforcement officers, their families and anyone showing support.

Features

• 550 Paracord Rating — The 550 designation refers to the cord's nominal 550 lb breaking strength, the standard grade for general-purpose paracord.
• 100 ft Hank — The cord comes bundled in a 100-foot hank, enough for multiple braided projects or a full camp kit of tie-downs and lines.
• Nylon Construction — Nylon has a little stretch to absorb shock loads, which suits lashings and tie-downs that see sudden tugs.
• Kernmantle Design — A woven outer sheath protects an inner core of strands, and you can pull those strands out for use as fishing line, sewing thread or fine cordage.
• Thin Blue Line Pattern — Black and gray stripes with blue running through the weave give a pattern that shows up clearly in braided bracelets and lanyards.
• Made In The USA — Atwood Rope MFG. produces this cord domestically, as marked on the hank label.
• Craft And Utility Use — The cord works for survival bracelets, zipper pulls, knife and flashlight wraps, shelter guy lines and general repairs.
• Not A Life Line — The label marks it "Not Life Line," so it should never be used for climbing, rappelling or any load that supports a person.

Build And Safety Notes

Atwood Rope makes this cord from nylon with a braided sheath over an inner core, the construction that lets paracord hold knots well and stay flexible for weaving. Ends can be sealed with a lighter to stop fraying after cutting. It is a utility and crafting cord rated for gear and lashing loads, and it is not intended to hold a person's weight.
