            I switched these out on the pro end of some short quickdraws for trad climbing. I use these draws on easier clips where length is not a factor. They save on weight and the bigger biners traded for are better used elsewhere. I only have two Nanos but there are no sharp edges on mine whatsoever. Maybe those who had that issue received a bad lot?

                Comments about C.A.M.P. USA Nano 23 Wiregate Carabiner:

                This biner is very light and the action is great. I was hoping to buy some to lighten my rack. But as another reviewer mentioned, at the bottom of the gate is a sharp spot that actually cut my finger when I was looking at it in the store. I checked every one of more than a dozen they had in stock and all of them had this same sharp spot that could easily tear a sling.
                I would like to see this fixed because the light weight and ease of use of this product would make this great if it didn't put slings and rope at risk.

                      I bought two of these, and after two one day climbing trips bought the 6-pack - so I own 8 of them. I too thought the lightest 23g biner would help me send harder trad routes. I use DMM 8mm dynema slings on these for ultra weight savings and less bulk. This is where the biner completely fails. I triple up my slings and extend as needed to avoid rope drag. When the sling is pulled across the lower gate pin the pin is so sharp it will pull out strands of dynema and rip them. YES that's Right this biner will actually TEAR your slings during normal use. Don't believe me? Run your thumb across that lower pin - feel sharp? Do you own any other carabiners with an edge so sharp it tears your slings?

                      Hopefully CAMP will address this issue and create a smooth button pin in the future.

                      I have used several of these to create alpine draws and they are excellent. They bear the rope well, and they are unbelievably light, yet strong.
                      The only qualm I have had with them is the aggressive angle of the nose which makes it a little awkward to clip at times, but this is an extremely small issue.
                      I highly recommend these for alpine draws and racking carabiners.

                        I love these 'biners. You must understand, going in, that they are on the small side. But they are extremely lightweight. I searched, high and low, for the lightest load-bearing 'biner around and this is what I came up with. I bought 2 of these at my local REI to use on backpacking. I have since gone back and bought the 6-pack. I use 1 to clip my chalk-bag, and put the rest on backpacks.

                        For non-climbing, if you want lightweight plus the versitility of a load-bearing 'biner, this is it.

                        For climbing, these puppies oughta be perfect for racking gear. You can't find lighter 'biners.
