Most paracord, including virtually everything else offered by this seller, is ~3/8" diameter, yet the description here says 1/8". Is this a typo?

The specs on 550 paracord is closer to 3/16". I think the technical specs for 550 paracord are 4.3 mm or 0.169". This is very close to a standard size paracord, but may be a tiny bit thicker than china made paracord. It is not 3/8"

It's either a typo or someone was heavy handed with a pair of calipers for measurement. I've ordered 100' sections to 1000' spools from them and everything has been exactly what I expected. 3/8 sounds a little big for a measurement to me but I haven't ever actually checked the diameter. Either way it's the same diameter as all other 550 paracord I've worked with and seemed better quality than some others I've found.

I believe that the 3/8 is usually the buckle size used. There is a size difference in 550 & 450 paracord!!

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.

Type III Paracord (550 lb) is 3 mm in diameter for the commercial version. Mil Spec Type II Paracord is 4 mm in diameter.

Engineer here: definitely not 1/8". I am not sure how the other are measuring. I am getting 0.059" to 0.063" with a digital caliper which puts it close to 1/16".

I use my paracord in small amounts and could not say for sure that it is one continuous piece.I have to say that I did assume that it was continuous spool when I purchased it.

No this cable is neither....it states 1/8 inch which is 3.175mm....and it has two male ends..

I actually used a 1/8'' piece of cable with mine. However you should be able to use a 1/2" piece of rope. I am not sure but 3/8 would either be the max on size or perhaps to large. Hope this helps.

I have a roll of this wire. When put up next to a tape measure, it looks to be about as close to 1/16" as possible (about 1.5 millimeters). David VA

This one was 1 3/8" long, but I'm pretty sure that they make them 1 3/4" as well. I think when we bought these, we debated about the longer one.

Not sure why it says 1/2", but it is definitely 3/8". I checked it with my pipe caliper just now.

I just purchased one along with a 100' spool of 750 paracord. The 750 paracord would not fit in the slots. I had to tie it off using the larger hole on the end of the tool located on the same side as the cutter. I was disappointed but still glad to have an all in one tool to organize and cut my paracord. Hopefully, they will design one specifically for the 750 paracord in the future.

If your talking about the tip, I would say it is 1/8 inch I use it for very fine detail work .

I definitely would. I've bo bought paracord from different brands and sometimes ended too short. This particular brand I did fine with.

I believe this is a typo on Amazon's page. Manufacturer's website shows 3 5/8" bolt circle.

It's not Para cord (550 cord) its nylon I replaced it and its a great knife easy to sharpen holds an edge for a while and you can't beat the price. It's a great buy for your buck

We don't splice our Paracord anywhere. That said; our 1000 Footers "May come in up-to two sections." It sometimes happens but we avoid it. All of our other lengths 50, 100, 200 and 500Ft. are guaranteed continuous with no splices. Bill... TOUGH-GRID
