Have you ever considered making a belt version? I think it would be easy to turn the D-shackle into a D buckle like most belts. IIRC you can get 3,6,10' lengths of 1/4" wide aluminum flat stock or 1/8" round stock. I know they have it at Home Depot but I would imagine that you could get it at Ace Hardware too. You could bend the stock around the shackle pin and then continue over to rest on top of the middle of the D. You could put it between the two loops that the pin of the D-shackle goes through. Then if you wanted to get fancy you could pound the end that rests on top of the D flatter so that it isnt so thick. I don't know I was just thinking if I had a belt then i would have alot more cord. Course I wear a 42 waist now. So if you make it say 46" long then that's 92' of Paracord and that's at only 2' per inch instead of 2.5' per inch. Thoughts?

Yeah I thought about a belt, I would do a triple braided, a 1 inch belt would not be wide enough for my liking. So with that said, I don't want to put that much time into one at this time. To put it in perspective a double bracelet usually takes an hour and a half from start to finish. Thanks for the flat stock idea!



Glad you liked it Noah!

I just got my double-braided bracelet with the small clevis shackle a few days ago and all I can say is OUTSTANDING!! (You don’t know how many times over the last 6-years that I could have used this in the field!) Another bump for an outstanding product from a superb vendor. Keep up the good work!!

H.S.M.

Can you post up a photos of all the colors (unassembled/unbraided)?

 

[grizzlygibbs]

Give me a few days, but I will get pictures up.

Glad you like it ocho!

Innovative design.

So basically in a situation where the cord is needed you un braid the bracelet to put it to its use correct?

 

[grizzlygibbs]

That's correct, it's not my own design. There are numerouse ways these are braided this is just one of my favorites. When I get a little better at the others I will list a few
examples.

Sorry about the pictures. Been busy at home, I will still try to get some up.

Guys,
I ordered three of these and they just showed up in the mail. They are big, beefy and super sturdy. I measured my wrist and they fit exactly. If I order again, I will suggest that you add between .25 and .50 inches to the wrist size that you ask for. This is to account for the thickness of the bracelet. I am very happy with these. Really nice work
John

BTW However much I was interested in belts before I am 5 times as interested in belts now that I have these in hand. Just a thought.

I just got the three bracelets I ordered, and they are terrific. Thanks, very cool. Even got the Pink one for my 65 year old mom that takes several day horse pack trips into the wyoming mountains - and she HAS been stranded out overnight there without shelter when the outfitter they hired failed to show up!

Got mine today and promptly ordered a couple more.

Two thumbs up for a great product, quick turnaround, and excellent customer service.

The braid-work is top notch.

Keep up the good work Grizz.

No, I just sell em here. I tried to put them on eBay but ih8mud keeps me pretty busy!

I have been too busy to get pictures of the colors I have posted up, hopefully in the next week I can get that for those who want to see the colors.
