Max Knives MKPCKM — Speckled khaki paracord keyring, 10 mm carabiner

Overview

The MKPCKM takes the series' paracord braid in a speckled khaki colourway whose grain shows through the weave. It measures 65 mm, weighs 11 g and finishes in a carabiner 10 mm in diameter. Like the other models it is more than decoration: the cord it is made of can be returned to its original job by undoing the braid.

A small object worth giving

Finding a present that does not end up in a drawer means aiming at use rather than effect. A speckled khaki keyring weighing 11 g ticks that box: it goes on the same day, it needs no sizing and no adjustment, and it suits someone you barely know as well as someone close. It also works as an addition, tucked in alongside a knife, a torch or a bag to bring colour to a set already chosen. Speckled has the further merit of looking like nothing else on the office key rack.

Technical specifications

MKPCKM figures: paracord for the material, a speckled khaki braid for the colourway, 65 mm for the length, 11 g for the weight and 10 mm in diameter for the carabiner. The accessory attaches straight to the keys through that carabiner. Beyond that use, the braid unwinds to free the paracord for makeshift work: tying keys, securing equipment, improvising a link.

Care

Nothing complicated before giving it or after using it: the speckled khaki braid takes plain water and dries in the open air. The speckling keeps its contrast while the cord stays clean, the lighter flecks reading better against khaki cleared of dust. The carabiner calls for no product at all; just make sure it closes properly after each time it is handled.
