yes, it's a nice decorative line for replacing missing baldrics & i have an outdoor store in a nearby village that has it in various suitable diameters and colours.
adds a bit of colour to the display.
climbing carabiners make useful adjuncts as well for my 'users'
not traditional, but i know it and the cordage won't break. p.s. - i am way past the age & weight where actual climbing was an option.....
and to get back on topic, this all made me remember why i used the fancy climbing rope, i bought the following small dha (5.5 in. blade) shortly after the larger one above in my earlier post, the coloured braided line on it is the original cotton one, which reminded me of climbing rope, the aftermath was the coloured stuff above. better looking to me at least than the plain cotton rope in the photo with the kukri i had used on my 1st dha.
i'd forgot that THIS small one was also a clipped point.
