Allen 8mm Dog Bone

Soft shackles

I've ordered a number of these in recent weeks. Initially, they were standard sizes from stock but, more recently, I've needed some bespoke sizes. Jason at Sailing Chandlery has been brilliant, fabricating these latter orders and despatching them within 24 hours.

Good

As expected, good price and fast delivery

Sheets and splicing

The eye splices and dogbones are fine but I was a bit surprised that I only got one sheet with dogbones on each end. I ordered two 6mm and two 8mm sheets but both were not cut. I expected them to be at least hot knifed - maybe whipped at the other end. I can get that done but shouldn’t have had to.
