Back before they finally got their shit together and settled on a basic design, barbed wire came in a bunch of different designs - ribbon wire, 2,3,4 and more strands (I've got a 6 piece strand in my collection), wire barbs, sheet metal barbs, you name it.<br />Don't quote me, but I'm thinking there's something like 1800 patents for different barbs and wires.<br />If you want to learn more about it (who wouldn't?) google the Devil's Rope Museum. They've got a lot of information there.<br />wirecutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525620516837946733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365858055267871677.post-45486484136284533182012-09-11T20:53:34.695-04:002012-09-11T20:53:34.695-04:00Pissed, that was too rich & fitting, you sir, ...Pissed, that was too rich & fitting, you sir, must know the wireman!
