[Forest fella]

As a few of my mates have asked me to make them some and I don't have anymore .And the last lot I shipped from over the pond, And the Tax was steep.

No issues.

He's another for you guys well I've got you, How safe are the U Shackles that you can get for the Bracelets, I'm abit worried about them being to strong and Me getting my arm caught, And due to the shackles and the breaking strain of the para-cord,I'd rip my wrist off.
That's why I tend to favour the Plastic Buckles.

If you mean like the one in this pic then not at all safe if you get the wristband entangled.

Breaking strain on that is probably 500kg or more

Edit... it's actually double what I thought for a 5mm shackle. Info here

Yeah that's what I'm mean, And yes I thought they looked abit on the strong side, I've never heard of this happening, but I'm not going tobe the first.

Seems pricey - 5 for the same cost as 50 on ebay.

Yeah I've just seen a review of the Ken Onion Bracelet/wire saw on youtube.

You did ask for a supplier in the UK.

Ah so he did, missed that. The ones I got off ebay only took about a week to ship and they'll all come from China to begin with.

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

bushcraft store sure is making some margin on those. I used to buy them in from china for 1.8p each.

There is also the mini ones with a hole for cord rather than a slot.

My Bracelet Buckles just arrived and I've order the wrong width, That and I ordered a few of the Metal ''D'' Shackles to see what they where like, And I've answered my own question, Yes there abit on the Heavy duty side for what I wanted.
