Not wanting to sound churlish and I like the ingenuity but am surprised at the issue of a patent, after all is this any more than an adaption that is available to anyone to make/sell? I doubt, for example that you could patent different kinds of useful things hung on a belt. Having seen references to a couple of previous posts showing this people should be aware that prior disclosure can invalidate a patent.
Just Google his user name and find his website. He also has a good youtube channel.
Nice one Kevin, wishing you the best of luck for the future.
Is it a design or a function patent? A design patent is easy to get around if there is a different shape of ferro rod?
Ouch! £30. Sorry but that's a lot for a paracord bracelet no matter how innovative and unique.

No. I don't believe it would be patentable in the UK/Europe either. If China fancies making these it's not a problem and they can export them. They'd probably even export them to resellers in the US and it's up to whomever owns the patent to enforce it by chasing them down and shutting their business down otherwise the patent would shortly be unenforceable. I'm not an expert though, but that's my understanding following many such conversations with a patent agent. UK/Europe is much stricter (seems to have a fairly common sense approach, but very bizarre in other respects) - American patent system seems to be just a way of lawyers to generate money out of both sides.
