Guessing some kind of military rope. It's flat, probably 3/16 x 7/16. I can't find it anywhere. Thanks-

That is army parachute cord. It is a different type that has no core. It used to be available at army surplus stores and I have braided various tack items out of it. Horn knots,hobbles and even a 23' mecate. Great stuff!

Looks very much like Amsteel, a hollow 12-plait, although Amsteel is rounded and this line appears flattened.

Used a bunch of Amsteel recently re-rigging my sailboat. A great substitute and improvement over wire rope for many applications. Extremely strong, very low stretch and a snap to splice.

Amsteel is not something that works well as a general purpose line. It is very expensive and has essentially no stretch or shock absorption capacity. It is a high-tech substitute for flexible wire rope.

It looks like Amsteel/Dyneema.
