Break Testing Knots - Zeppelin & Figure 8 & Alpine Butterfly & Reever & Bowline & Double Fisherman

We broke 6 knots end to end and in a bend (a loop). 40 samples total. Let us know on our discord page for our new series of How Knot to Tie Ropes on format and the testing you want to see.   / discord  

We tested a 7mm Edelweiss rope (http://www.edelweiss-ropes.com/en/cor...) with a 9.8kn MBS. We are not sure why Edelrid's 7mm rope is 14kn (https://www.edelrid.de/en/sports/acce... Do you know?

Carl Mitchell prepared all the samples and shipped them to us. Thank you! And thank you Bobby for breaking these!
