Well what I meant was the product is back in production publicly.

Keep up the good game, Richard. You hack at something long enough, it will eventually come down! This is your fight to win!

Loving mine! Simple, fast, and makes me feel like I'm cheating for not having to frog my way up.

Way to keep plugging along Richard! In my experience the unique design of SAKA makes it the best tool out there when it comes to a self-advancing knee ascender.

Thanks for the feedback, it's encouraging to hear when there is so much OTHER to deal with.

Thanks, I will. Not my first time for challenges. In the end, things seem to work out for the better.

Where can it be purchased?
It is listed in the WesSpur catalog.

Saka CLI521 $159. S.A.K.A. stands for “Self Advancing Knee. Ascender”, and thanks to the Spectra bungee in the SAKA, this name is well-earned.
But I can not find is on their online site anymore.

It would need a fairly wide stitch width as well to hit the center of the rope on both sides of the eye, I would love to find a machine that could handle a sewn eye. I check Craigslist now and then hoping to get lucky.
Acquiring a machine that can handle sewn eyes is something on my wish list too.
(even 441 short arms (with a max stitch width of 11 mm) are outta my grasp)
Some of the specs on these ones are impressive, and probably impressively spendy:

What a great write up, I am saving that link for reference. I could never justify a new machine, but if I can find one used that meets the specs...
