I just did a googly search of those buckles...all I found was FIVE FREAKING DOLLARS A FREAKING PIECE! on the sites. Maybe I should thank my local surplus store when I go back in LOL

One for my wife, Purple with a elephant charm. the two things she LOVES
added some stuff to my Gerber (now that I tested it and trust it for a woods tool). Coghlans ferro rod, neck lanyard, new handle wrap, knife lanyard, some 550 wrap on sheath.
Ironic. The last gun show we went to I bought my son some 550 parachord and he started making some keychains thingies. Then I saw he had a knack for it and ordered him a few different colors and some 3/8" contoured side release buckles and he's been making survival bracelets for $5.00 each.
I'm not sure his are made the same as the one's like Boker.com sells for $19.95 or not. His are two color and he uses 4 to 5 feet of each color.
I bought him 10 buckles and just had to buy him a 50pk. because he'd used and sold the first 10 already.
They come in great for a tourniquet, making a snare, if you take it apart the 7 strand in the chord can be used to stitch a cut, a tent or even fish with. One strand is pretty **** strong.
I'm now making these without buckles, just tied back to themselves...no pics at the moment.
My newest son in law has turned out to be a paracord weaver (knew I liked that kid). Anyway, he makes them without buckles...just a loop on one end and a knot to poke through the loop on the other.
IN the mean time I've found lots of paracord and buckles and whatnot on Amazon.com
