Max Knives MKPCVIC — Purple braided paracord keyring, 65 mm, 11 g

Overview

The MKPCVIC is a keyring in purple braided paracord, mounted on a carabiner 10 mm in diameter, 65 mm long and 11 g in weight. Purple is not a shade that turns up on a key set by default, and that alone is enough to personalise an everyday object. Like the rest of the series it keeps paracord's first property: the ability to become cord again.

Choosing a colour that stands out

A key set is an object you inherit: keys arrive with a flat, a car, a workstation, and nobody picks them. The keyring is the one part you actually decide on. Going for purple rather than a metal ring is that decision, and it also makes your set recognisable among a colleague's on a shared desk or in a key cabinet. Eleven grams of paracord is enough to turn a purely functional item into an identifiable one.

Technical specifications

The MKPCVIC in figures and material: paracord for the cord, a purple colourway for the braid, 65 mm for the overall length, 10 mm in diameter for the carabiner and 11 g on the scale. The braid unwinds whenever the cord itself is wanted, at which point it serves for makeshift jobs, tying keys together, securing equipment or improvising a link before being put back.

Care

Purple stays deep as long as the cord is clean: a rinse in plain water, then air drying out of direct sunlight, maintains the braid with nothing further required. Paracord needs neither treatment nor product. The carabiner is verified with a single opening motion, checking that its gate comes back into contact without having to be guided.
