Holy flirking schnit! I cut through a piece of webbing the other day with my Sugoi! It didnt take much just a touch. I was glad there was no load on the strap yet. Watch what you are doing and stay safe! On that note has the Idea of a wire core bridge ever been tried?

Scary,Thanks for posting that. Real eye opener. Any tests on loaded climbing lines?

I can't read the language or see a video but if you're talking about handsaws going through rope or webbing I can tell you a Sugoi isn't necessary. I purposefully cut through a Poison Ivy lifeline with a little Silky Prosentei. It didn't even take a half swipe of the blade under light pressure to completely sever the rope. It was under big tension at the time.

How about a wire-core bridge? I've never heard of one.

 

[Babberney]

a real eye-opener, that.

also very entertaining to read the english "translation." What language was that originally?

 

[treehugs]

Yeah the translation is funny,,
The original language is Dutch (The Netherlands)

Corollary: soft gear under tension really, really does not like sharp things!
