ENO Nomad Lets You Camp in a Hammock – Without Trees, or a Car

Para-Claw Paracord Bracelet for Your Outdoor Adventures

I know. You are asking, "Another paracord bracelet?" The Para-Claw Paracord Bracelet takes on a new twist with it's durable, hidden claw blade. The Para-Claw equips you with not only the handy paracord but also a knife that can stand up to the task. This knife isn't the small, cheaply made mini-blade you find in most paracord bracelets. Featured is a 1.5” hawkbill blade ground from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel with a stealthy BlackStoneTM finish. That ain't going to break! The blade is integrally molded to a glass/nylon guard that ties into the bracelet. Handle grooves and jimping on the thumb ramp ensure a positive grip at all times. The patent pending sheath system locks the knife securely for immediate deployment in any situation.
