I just received my Cruzr. I took a page out Latitude Outdoors book and made this Oplux bridge with 1/8 Amsteel. Initial thoughts and test are ... the Amsteel bites well on the Oplux sheath and I did not see any slippage. I like the idea of Oplux here. It can easily and quickly be replaced. No splicing or burying. I may just replace it every season for the heck of it. Also, dual side adjustability means I can make the center of my bridge at different points. Should wear slower over time.
Quick instructions on how to make it ...
Start with 6 ft of 1/8 Amsteel.
Fold it in half and pinch in the middle.
Measure 20 inches from the pinch and start the locked brummel.
Bury the tag ends.
Makes a 16 inch continuous loop with full burys. Heat shrink is 3/8 and it's just there to prevent the bury ends from peaking out. It's cosmetic and not required.
WARNING: Amsteel has a low melting point. Use the heat shrink at your own risk.
