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!

yes it will work with paracord. the buckles on it are standard for most smaller projects like bracelets and small/med dog collars, key chains/fobs. It is adjustable for longer pieces as well. I believe you can swap for larger buckles if needed. Good Luck!

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

It is pretty stiff. I would only use it for a utilitarian application as opposed to a clothing closure for instance. Hope that helps.

I use paracord in a couple different ways. Either hanging from my backpack or attatched tightly to my belt. This is a great knife

Connectors are somewhat stiff but not overall a pain like others. Overall I would rate the stiffness adequate and secure. Cables are not as stiff to move around and route in the case. Overall I am satisfied.

It's not too think but not thin enough to feel any pain if the string hits the leather. I love mine.

I find the red connecting cable a bit stiff----prefer another brand of interchangeable needles when I am using "magic loop" method to do socks. I like the cloth case in which they are stored.

Paracord is typically rated for 30% stretch (although Ithat is under some serious tension) . It will elongated over time under load (a feature to add some elasticity to a hanging paratrooper). As for the rest of the things you describe paracord won't mildew/mold and relatively weather resistant. The knots will hold but make sure you using knots that work well with slippery cord. At the very least you will want to throw an overhand knot at the running ends of your knots as stoppers. And strength shouldn't be an issue. You may want to use nylon straps as they will probably work better in this case. Paracord is typically rated for 30% stretch (although Ithat is under some serious tension) .

Yes, it is soft and somewhat flexible, yet still sturdy. I can't say for sure it is silicone, but definitely a rubberized material making it comfortable in the hand. (I will try and post a pic.)

There are a few videos on YouTube showcasing how sharp and durable the blade actually is. The handle is already wrapped with paracord but if you want to wrap addition cord I say go for it.

It's pretty stiff, not very flexible. Mine was broken out of the box, the base came unglued from the top of the unit..... I ended up epoxying it and it's been holding for now.

Yes, I have used it for many projects, and it seems to be holding up. (I make paracord items and also bracelets) Hope that helps.

It is thin and pliable. They come two to a packet. One of mine came apart at the seam. The other has not SO FAR !

No, that seemed to be ok. It should feel stiff. With use it should get easier to use.

it's kind of a soft plastic. Not a hard plastic, it has some give. It is not cheaply made. It is very smooth.

It's not so stiff you can't work with it but not real soft either. I use qsnaps and it holds its shape better than some aidas. Love to work with it
