Max Knives MKPCG — Grey braided paracord keyring with 10 mm carabiner

Overview

The MKPCG is a grey braided paracord keyring fitted with a carabiner 10 mm in diameter, 65 mm long and 11 g in weight. Grey is a workshop colour, discreet on a bench and on a professional key set alike. What sets it apart has less to do with its shape than with its nature: this is not decoration, it is cord stored concertina-style, ready the moment you decide to unfold it.

A braid that unravels to give the cord back

The braiding leads two lives. The first is that of a keyring: the grey cord is folded back on itself, tight and compact, sized for the hand. The second begins when you take it apart. The strands come free and hand back paracord you can press into service, tying keys together, securing kit that will not stay put, improvising a link when nothing else is within reach. It is an object carried daily without a thought that turns into a resource at the moment it is wanted.

Technical specifications

The MKPCG measures 65 mm long, weighs 11 g and consists of braided paracord in a grey shade combined with a carabiner of 10 mm in diameter. The carabiner makes the connection to the keys; the braid forms the body of the object and the cord reserve. Unwound, that paracord returns to being cordage and lends itself to everyday makeshift jobs, from an improvised tie to a piece of equipment you want lashed down.

Care

A grey braid that has seen work gets rinsed in plain water and dried in open air, away from any heat source. If the cord has been unwound and braided again, the thing to watch is that the strands sit neatly against one another before the whole lot goes back on the carabiner. The carabiner itself is checked with a thumb: the gate should return against the body on its own.
