  A very useful and stylish survival bracelet as it has great functionality in addition to its appearance.
  Let's start with the positives.
  When fully unraveled, it is approximately 220 cm of 550 paracord, which can withstand 550 lb or 250 kg and is used in camping, military missions, survival scenarios, fishing, as it has 7 white threads inside to make an improvised fishing line or anything else.
  The plastic buckle with its 4 functions has a fairly loud whistle for its size, a compass that, when placed flat on a surface, roughly indicates the north, a small blade that can cut a few things, and in combination with the fire starter, it produces a satisfactory spark in case the lighter is wet or broken, this will work reliably.

  Now let's move on to the negatives and the modification I made.
  It is a very long length, 22 cm, intended for people with very thick wrists. Mine is 19 cm, so it slips off whenever I unravel it to reweave it to the desired length. If you search on YouTube, there are videos on how to do it.
  I unraveled the whole thing, had a stainless steel sailor's key, and adjusted it to a length of 19.5 cm, which fits and has a little room, it is not tight on my hand, nor does it slip like before. In other words, I remade it in such a way that it becomes a much higher quality bracelet thanks to the sailor's key, similar to the Pentagon ones from 15E, and I combined the plastic buckle to accompany and complement the functions of the Victorinox multitool.
  As for the plastic buckle, it is bulky and I believe that due to its low quality, the little ears that fasten it can easily break, so as a multitool, I tied it with a string using the ring of the Swiss Victorinox Huntsman to have both of them together.

  In conclusion, a very good purchase for 4Euros, useful with a 220cm paracord and a buckle with 4 functions if you engage in outdoor activities, etc. Normally, I would give it 4 stars because it could have the option to adjust according to the size you want on your wrist, not everyone has a circumference of 22cm, BUT if your hands can handle it, you can make it any size you want and it remains useful. You can even make a similar one if you have paracord and a buckle (either plastic with ears or a sailor's key).

  Update August 29, 2022: The idea I had for the clip on the survival bracelet and the Swiss multitool was taken and uploaded by the following YouTube channel after 6 days of my evaluation. The channel has content of this type and you will generally like it since it is a Greek channel. Here is the link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lyBhHXKRZ-4

  I would give it 5 stars if, as mentioned, there wasn't the uncomfortable position of the clasp. While the clips that fasten the bracelet are slightly flexible, the clasp is right in the middle without much space. It is also a bit large (even on a large adult, their wrist would feel empty), but this is justified by the fact that the wrapped rope needs to have enough twists to withstand a specific weight. Definitely not a bad choice.

  It looks quite good, the compass works but it needs a good stable and flat point, when you wear it you have to make your wrist a gyroscope... the whistle is loud and the lighter works great, it takes a little effort at the beginning until the black comes off the top and the metal shows... very good...

  The striker on these bracelets needs to be scratched from the opposite side of the blade in order to function effectively.

  Convenient bracelet. It may prove useful in case of emergency, the only thing I noticed is that there is a difficulty in getting the lighter to work.
