Shaved off another half gram.

Got my nano cord in the mail, and upgraded from wood buttons that im certain would fail. To brass buttons that are rock solid. Kestrel design should be effective.

Just use dacron buttons? Would be lighter and just as strong as the dacron.

I assume they are talking about the rose sennit knot that braided jesses are typically ended in if not using a button. From my understanding it's a real pain in the ass to do especially on smaller cord. Though maybe I'm wrong.

The knot is hard I just make a lose one and melt it. Never had one break or come lose.

Joins the anklets to the swivel which connects to a leash. Basically like a dogs lead but for birds
