Re: Staples- what's the point?

Cooper,

I use an AK model Loree and am mostly using AK nickel staples on the theory that someone at Loree must have done some work to match one to the other. My understanding is that the bore dimensions of the AK staple are conically continuous or at least matched in some way with the bore of the top joint. Do you know anything about this? Also, which Chudnow staple do you recommend? I ordered one regular Loree staple just to compare and was amazed at how small the opening was, much smaller than any other staples I've ever used. I was amazed by that. I tend to like thin walled staples but the AKs are not so thin, they do have a kind of rounded oval shape that is less rectangular if you will than many other staples I've used and I find that that makes it harder to center the cane on the staple and maintain its position when tying. I've had good experiences with Pisoni and Glotin staples as well.
