Spiral 4 in 1

Weave Description
Also called 'Serpentine', or just plain 'Spiral'. The Spiral weave will unspiral itself unless you have it connected between two points while spirally. If you untwist the Spiral 4 in 1 weave, you will see that it is in fact 2 1 on 1 chains. Pictured sample uses .057", 1/4" galvanized steel rings (AR: 4.8).
Recommended AR: 4.0
