Simond Chamonix Spider Quickdraw

I've been trying to get some modeling practice in on the weekends.  Here's a Simond Chamonix Spider Carabiner assembled in quickdraw spec.  I originally bought this carabiner, because it challenged a lot of the standards in basic carabiner design.  Having modeled it now, I respect its design even more so.  This piece posesses an extensive amount of aluminum bending and machining knowlege.  Impressive.
