Yeah the sterling cut through with the silky like the other ropes did. I tried to do the same amount of force on each cut but if it appears different then oh well. The dynamic ropes cut through like butter, the Samson (?) access line took a bit more force and the tritech took a bit more still. But all of these were still very lite cuts- drag your saw across a taut lanyard and you cuthough it.simple.
Hitting it with the saw was just to see what would happen- it was never meant to be scientific at all, just a bit of fun at the end of the day....
