is that the 9mm double braid? i found that a tough bit of rope. i found the armor prus not too bad, vectran and a pure technora strand are a lot harder Jamie

ha ha, i have some high quality ikea ones that work, not brilliant but they cut. ony£2.50 for 3 pairs jamie

I found it super easy to do the bury, i use tubular fids, a bit of massaging and its in / through. Like nick said the spoke is a good idea. Jamie

what for? Jamie

Nick, I'm dubious about the spectra as well. thats why i spliced it as a class one, that way the technora and poly in the cover is there to add some support along with the kevlar strands in the core. Donaghys say it should be spliced with a class 2 core dependent splice as per their spectra...

oh the core has 8 strands. 2 of the strands are 50% kevlar 50% dyneema, the other 6 are pure dyneema. Jamie

some pictures sheath, it's not that shiny, it got a burst of flash core, you can see the yellow kevlar half strands exposed eye, i got shot of this, un treated dyneema is too 'picky' i think and i didn't want to cut through it. 2 class1 DB splices. I know it should be a class 2 splice...

I've been sent a short length of armor prus, i'll write a bit of a report on it and post it here when its done, so far my views are nice and stiff. Its a polyester technora sheath with the dyneema (spectra) and kevlar core. the kevlar makes up about 30% of the core. Jamie

the core is a blend of dyneema / spectra and kevlar. Apparently tests have shown no ill effects to the dyneema core. Jamie

Nick, i brought it up with them as i was concerned by it too, i can't remember exactly what Tony said about the dyneema but he gave a sensible reply / reason for having it there. I'll pm him again and ask again and post it here. Jamie
