Is the paracord soft and malleable or is it stiff.

I would say it's in between. Very good quality, easy to work with and most important to anyone crafting with Paracord, it splices very good. I have never had any problems with Paracord Planet cord.

I would say it is somewhere in between. Great to tie knots with. Very strong!

I had no problem with the flexibility of the cord. It's not overly thick and is easily maneuvered.

It's not soft, as in squishy. Don't know if it's really plastic. It's dull and smooth. works great.

The strap is rigid. It is plastic and somewhat bendable but is definitely stiff. I love these things and they are with me where ever I go. You will be glad you bought them.

Hey, M R:It's Darren Wright from Paracord 550 MilSpec (TM). Thanks for your question!Paracord is very strong and durable, especially for the small diameter of the cord. However, it's not at all made for mountain climbing. The lines used for mountain climbing are much heavier and sturdier than Paracord. Hope this helps!Darren

It's actually pretty stiff. It's not something that's going to bend very easily..

The cord isn't too thick. It's like a medium size thickness, not to thin to snap but not too thick that its noticable. Mine hasn't snapped, so I think it depends on the wear and tear of the material. I hope this helps.

It is rigid, but not as thick as PVC. It is thinwall plastic tube. It will be okay for a cane, but it won't hold a lot of weight. We used it to make glow in the dark batons for relay for life.

It is quite thick, so not very likely to kink. I've sometimes had tangling problems with thinner cords, but not kinks. If a little caution is used to be sure you don't pull hard on it without looking, there should be no problem. I use this cord in the woods with a chainsaw, and I really like it.

Yes its very thin and feels like it has a coating similar to teflon. Once you crank down on the knot its not coming out. Some of the best cord next to the tried and true 550

The material is not a rigid plastic nor is it overly pliable like rubber but to the touch it will feel softer like rubber.

it is somewhat soft, if it is a small piece or if you curve it, it will stand up. For example, it works really well for fake ear cartilage - I used it for some lamb ears. small pieces will stand up but large will not.

The paracord is orange. However, it's extremely simple (and common) to rewrap this knife. I chose black cord and watched a YouTube video that showed me an even "meatier" way to wrap it. It can be done, easily, in under 20 minutes. To boot, this knife is a workhorse. The sheath is top-quality and adjustable.

Well from my experience Paracord either comes as Nylon Paracord or Polyester Paracord. They have the same "Break" strength but nylon is a bit more flexible and costs more. So to answer your question....Yes it is wrapped in paracord, I just don't know what material.

It is somewhat pliable. The knife goes in it but it heals up. I haven't had any problems with it.

It looks and feels like real paracord, but I have not unwrapped it to test strength or durability. If you were a contestant on Naked and Afraid this probably isn't the one item you want to take with you, but for having around the house for $5 it is a god deal.

It is definitely not stiff. I usually use two pieces when making a project.
