Messing around today. Promised myself i'd film this ages ago but never got around to it.

 

Bit serious, but at least you get to see me bite the dust

No real need to carry a knife with a retractable blade then.

Very good, i remember them showing a silky cut through a rope when i first started college. It sure makes you think.

would of been good to show only 1 inch needed to cut rope

i once saw a demo where they pretensioned the line, im not sure how much, but probably more than the weight of a person on it. they barely tapped the silky on the rope, not even in a sawing motion and it snapped
