I had my Elite spartan bracelet with the D shackle delivered today and I have to say that I'm even more impressed when I have it in my hand than when I was looking at it online, the workmanship is top notch, braided to perfection with excellent quality cord and with the heavy shackle its not going anywhere. Mathias was very helpful with the size and actually made it a cm shorter to allow for stretching. I couldn't be happier and am looking forward to getting my next bracelet from KrugerEDC. If your looking for a quality long lasting item then you cant go wrong, I actually want a whole collection now.
