Paracord keychain made by my son for my new PCX!!

So a year or so ago I helped my (now soon-to-be 16yr old) son to start a small business to help him learn the basics of money management and saving for what you want etc. I told him that he's the eldest of 5 and that I won't be buying cars etc. so he should think about what he wants and how he's going to afford it! We came up with a paracord 'business' where he makes various items from true 550 paracord (no cheap knock-offs) and would sell them at craft fairs with my wife, as well as online. His Etsy shop has kind of gone by the wayside as he's been so busy from the craft shows, making a fine product at a very reasonable price. He's got a good size deposit on a car, although he now really want to ride my bike!
Well today I came home from work and he had decided to make me an early birthday present!! He took my PCX keys and attached the key chain shown below that he had worked on today. He normally does cobra and king cobra weaves which yield about 1-2' of cord per inch of weave, but this is one of his more intricate weaves that takes a lot longer and puts a lot more cord into it. It's a basic black, but the red is an almost exact match for my red PCX and it has a 3M reflective stitch through it. Completely awesome if I don't say so myself!
Very cool, and very proud dad!!
