Maybe some with a phantom can answer this question. I’ll try and post pictures. I received my phantom a few days ago and the prusik knot on the bridge seems really small and thin compared to the thickness of the rest of the bridge. Is everyone else’s prusik knot like this?

Looks fine to me. That is a contious loop splice. The portion you see that is thinner is just the area of that loop where the burys stop/are terminated inside.

Ok, good to know. The amsteel on the bridge just looks so much thicker. Doesn’t seem like much material but I’m guessing the amsteel has a very high load rating.
 
Yes. That’s by design actually so the smaller diameter portion of the loop sits inside the comfort channels better

I was making mine with the buries touching, to close that gap, then realized it probably intentional as the thinner 3/16 "bites" into the nodes on the bridge loops much better. 4900 lbs breaking strength on the 3/16 material
