I'll admit, I've been a fan of Lawson's cordage for a couple years now. I started running his 2mm GloWire on all my hammock tarps coupled with his bar tensioners, which I will review separately of course.
I also use his IronWire in my folding buck saws as tension line. It has a 500# rating and tensions my saws beautifully. That is a spliceable line which may or may not still be available. At this time it appears Lawson may be focusing on "kernmantle" cordage. That was a new one for me but essentially it's a German term for "badass", or translated more purely, "core" and "sheath". A core which embodies the strength of the rope and a sheath which protects the core and makes it slippery or not slippery or reflective or not, etc.
For this review I have been provided with a spool of 2000' of the Lawson Guywire Accessory Cord in an OD green color. This has no reflective fibers woven in like the GloWire. On initial inspection and use, it has similar properties, feel, and knotability as the GloWire. I use the tautline hitch and the perfection loop constantly and this line seems to work fabulous with those.
More info later. Headed to the Maine Cast Iron Hammock Hang this weekend and plan on using this cordage as much as possible!
10/7/19 Update
I have been using the accessory cord now for a while and I am very impressed with its knotability, strength, versatility, and durability. It does not tangle like many other 2mm lines and works fabulous for hammock tarp tieouts and even ridgeline tieouts. We used this line on our tarps that we had installed on our Tensa4 hammock stands all over the West from Seattle to Montana. The Tautline hitch works fabulous with this line! Looking forward to using the new IronWire by Lawson now as well. It feels similar but the core is dyneema, so even stronger and no stretch! Regardless of the core, I did not find the Accessory Cord to have much stretch anyways.
