1x 8m length – Tokyo Premium 6mm Jute – No JBO
$28.00
1 x 8m length of Tokyo Premium 6mm Jute – made without Jute batch oil.
This rope is our NEW favourite – Soft, pliable, light and fast, straight off the reel.
Tokyo Premium has been two years in development and testing. Without a doubt, this is the best rope we have ever had. It is destined to set a new standard being superior to any Japanese rope we have used so far.
This is a true 6mm, so you might take it to be less as most rope is about 10% over the nominal size to allow for stretch and so as not to be under specification. After use, it is likely to settle down at around 5.5mm, which I regard as the ideal diameter.
The weight is 15.8g per meter. Each of the three strands has 7 sub-plies/strands, each of 5 yarns twisted together. The reason for this construction is to create a super flexible, smooth, loose-laid rope that is also durable and forgiving of rough handling. With this rope, you’ll get the best of both worlds, long life and optimum feel and handling.
It’s sweet-smelling due to eco-friendly production methods (no JBO) and wet treating is entirely pointless as it is perfect right off the reel.*
Binding in the Japanese style uses a folded over length of rope, so a 10m length will be 5m folded over.
*for best results, always condition your natural fibre ropes and inspect and maintain/care for them regularly.
