All products are made using 1/8 inch 450 or 550 pound test parachute cord aka paracord.

We offer a selection of items to use as the core for most of our products. Our zipper pulls and mini keychains are made using a wooden ball core. Regular size keychains are made with either a standard dice, 3/4 inch wood ball or 3/4 inch steel ball. Large size keychains are made with either a 1 inch steel ball or 1 inch wood ball. The X-Large keychain is made with a 1 1/4 inch wooden ball.

The weight varies depending on which monkey fist product you are interested in purchasing. On each of the product pages we list the weight of all the available cores.

Currently we use parachute cord for all of our products.

All of our keychain lengths are approximate. Mini keychains are 4 inches. Regular and large keychains are 8 inches. All keychains are made to where they can be adjusted if you desire a shorter length.

Zipper pulls measure approximately 4 inches in length.

We have made every effort to thoroughly describe each product including all available options and accurately display the color of the cords. Differences in computer monitors, screen resolution, and other factors could cause colors to appear in shades or tones that are not 100% accurate. If precision in color selection is important, it is recommended that your contact us regarding a cord sample prior to ordering.

No. All of our products are handmade here in the U.S.A by skilled employees to ensure the highest quality craftsmanship possible.

The loop on the keyring end of the keychain is made with a type of noose knot. This allows for the noose to slide down the string making the end loop larger and the keychain shorter.

No. Before launching our business we did a random survey asking people their opinion regarding the need for the metal keyring. The results of that survey were that people looking for a keychain almost always have an existing set of keys with at least one metal keyring on that set. Therefore, we felt it unecessary to add a keyring to our keychains because most people said they would end up not using it anyways. Since our keychains are so easy to attach to your existing keyring we save our customers money by not making them pay extra money for something they don't need.

Very simple. You slide the loop of the keychain onto the ring exactly as you would when putting a key on the ring. We have illustraded pictures that show step by step how to attach the keychain.
