Break-away safety Buckle for necklaces, lanyards, bracelets and other paracord crafts.
Each buckle consists of four pieces – two locking end-caps and one male and one female buckle piece. Inner diameter of slot for paracord is approximately 3/16 (4.5 mm) and will accept Type 1, 275, 425, 550 and 650 coreless paracord.
Attaching the buckle to paracord:
For Type 1, 275 and 425 paracord, simply loop the end of the paracord around the spike in the center of the locking end-cap and press the end-cap onto the corresponding end of either the male or female buckle piece. Then repeat on the other end of the paracord.
For 550 paracord and 650 Coreless paracord - near the end of the paracord - use a dull needle or similar tool to poke a small hole from one side of the paracord through the other side. Using the hole just created, side the paracord onto the spike in the center of the locking end-cap. Press the end-cap onto the corresponding end of either the male or female buckle piece. Then repeat on the other end of the paracord.
