    Dyneema ?

    What put me on to Dyneema myself was this youtube from Tac Blades https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdTqIAkT4qA&t=265s Have bought some in olive/green and works great. Only thing I think that needs to be considered is using it in wet or slippery conditions may require some good gloves.
