Paracord stuff

Essentially same/same but without as much cool factor, more options for colors, cheaper and resists weather better.

There are some differences (there really is nothing like a well made kangaroo whip) but for the cost and durability, It's a slam dunk.

I made a 8' Bullwhip for my youngest. he's having a great time with it. My next whip will be a 6' stockwhip in paracord so I can go all Broke Back Mountain while driving the cruiser or riding a motorcycle.

Sounds about right.

the bottle opener/paracord locking mechanism is not designed for extreme weights.. I doubt that a sharp edge on a drilled hole in Aluminum would cause issue..

I de-burred the hole with the nose of my Leatherman pliers. Left a radius of maybe .005 or .010. The big thing was getting the sharp burrs from drilling off.

you'd want to chamfer the holes pretty well I assume. Or is it a compromise between cutting the cord and getting positive lock?
