parabellumDoes anyone have a couple of paracord beads they can spare?
I need a couple for a new lanyard for a knife. I thought I had an entire bag of them somewhere in my stuff but I can't find them and I hate to buy any online just to get a couple of them, because I'll probably locate my bag full of them at some point.
I'm referring to beads with a center hole large enough to fit two pieces of paracord (not gutted), snugly. Black and/or orange is preferable. I'd be happy to pay the postage for them if anyone has a couple to spare. Thanks.

Hound DogI have a bag off 500, of which I've maybe used 4. I will have them in the mail as soon as I can.
When I get home from work tonight, I will get on my email and get the shipping address.

RNshooterYup, I read that.
Paracord comes in many, many specifications and different diameters. 550 is only the most common.
