Them shackle fasteners that are used on paracord bracelets?

deano is a bit slugish when replying to emails - guess he must have a life outside this multi-tool gear and stuff!!  :think:

I've never seen them in the UK, but then I've never really looked!

You could shoot Nick (Flash), Dave or Ryan (Roadie) a pm, as there all tacticool knitters of (UK) note :)
Give in, buy several Farmer's!!!!!!

Does such a thing exist?  Is life worth living without MTs? :D :D

One of the above combat sewing experts should help.  Chrissy also knows a thing or two, so you could try asking her as well.
I've never looked for them, so I'm useless...  But I'm so pretty everyone lets me get away with it :D

Which fasteners do you mean Paul?

These ones?

I can never remember which size to get, but the 15mm refers to the width of webbing they fit.
I used to come here a lot.

Any good sailing chandlers will hold those in stock just ask for shackles and they pull out a draw full of them.

Alternatively try here

Yep, sailing hardware is the way forward for those. I just picked some up from ebay actually.
Here's the search which should sort you out:

Aaaah - proper shackles.

There was a chandler on ebay where I've bought a few of those - not that recently though.

I was staggered at the price of traditional brass shackles these days and settled for some galvanised in the end.
I used to come here a lot.
