    I've used both Spectra and lots of other "Kevlar" fibers for climbing.
    Tool killer, why?
    Under load they cut like butter, tensile strength is tremendous but shearing strength not so.

    under normal straight conditions I dont see how it would develop a crack; you could bend it and eventually snap it but most other scales will do that (excluding some metals). Laminated kevlar has very low water absorbtion and can be finished so that it absorbes no water.

    But besides that it just looks great IMHO
    keep calm and mod on ALWAYS
