its a very sudden edge to have a rope supported on. you wouldn't run your climbing line over a 'sharp' edge would you?

Nope, I wouldn't run a life line over a radius as small as that... but then that's not what's happening is it? It's designed to have a stopper knot run past it. It didn't used to concern me about tying a scaffold knot onto the petzl becket either... The line doesn't move its static.

I don't think i explained myself properly. What i'm meaning is it wouldn't want a rope tied onto something as sharp. In reference to Steves picture. if it had a circular profile i'd be happy.

 

I mean sharp as a right angle and not rounded. If you change cords often chances are it'll never be a problem but for people who don't change cords often i cna imagine it would slowly abraid the inside of teh knot.
