riggerrob 643 #4 December 29, 2010 Long before Cypres was invented, the military and NASA used a wide variety of "reefing rope cutters" etc. to stage openings and deploy huge round parachutes. Try asking companies that sell cargo chutes to the military. If they offer you "time expired" explosive cutters, RUN AWAY SCREAMING! Life is too short too mess with time-expired explosives. IOW If you play with time-expired explosives your life expectancy is short. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don’t explode but one that large will take a finger off. SparkyMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjosparky 4 #8 January 1, 2011 These are the largest ring cutters I have seen. The large one is 1.25 inches and the smaller one is 0.75 inches. The other ones are called “cutter cartridge actuated” referred to as finger cutters... The red one is 0.8 sec and has a blunt cutter. The silver one is 0.5 sec and has a knife blade cutter. Works better cutting Kevlar or spectra.
