We didn’t just clamp a cheap chinese razor into some cheap plastic grip. We talked with people that had the experience of needing to cut away undesirable things. Riggers and jumpers alike. We asked them what they would have wanted differently from what they had at the time. We researched what works and discarded all the things that do not. Then, we used our 40+ years of experience in Manufacturing, Machining, Tool & Die, & Toolmaking to accomplish the goal of creating what we believe is the best tool for the job.
We tested the Churchkey PLUS extensively. The video on the main page is real and repeatable. Churchkey PLUS has cut through multiple cutaway cables. And the same blades then went on to make more than 200 cuts through HMA/Technora 2500 lines! That was already after they had cut through 100 pieces of Dacron 900 lines. Can yours do that? No. No, it can not. We know that because we tried it.
Ask any Rigger – They will tell you that you’ll be lucky to get through 2 or 3 cuts of HMA lines with a premium quality item. Then, the edge starts degrading rapidly and it takes much more effort to continue on. Cheap ones might do it once. And there’s no way that you’re cutting through a Lolon covered, Stainless Steel, braided cutaway cable. But ChurchkeyPLUS has. To be clear – we do not recommend doing it. However, we did it anyway in an effort to push the testing as far as could. Knowing that ChurchkeyPLUS performs so exceedingly means that lesser things like suspension lines, canopy fabric, and webbing are just no match for the edge we have created.
Every ChurchkeyPLUS has TWO edges, effectively giving you a spare right out of the gate. And should you do something really stupid with it, they are replaceable. They are also easier to sharpen.
ChurchkeyPLUS: Because your gear should work as hard as you play.
