18 CONCERTINA
KNIGHT DEFENDER CONCERTINA Razor Wire is recommended for high-security residential and high-security
commercial, military and Correctional Institution use. Its needle-sharp long razor barbs are the most effective and economical solution
for home and business security. Each loop is clipped to its adjacent loop with Industry Standard CONCERTINA razor wire clips. This
system forms an accordion style roll that cannot be stretched beyond it's designed yield and creates a more dense field of needlesharp long razor barbs. CONCERTINA can be easily stacked in same or different diameters to form an impenetrable wall-like barrier.
Our CONCERTINA 18 is available in either Stainless Steel (AISI 430) or Galvanized (ASTM A635) reinforced with a cold clenched
galvanized steel core. The barb length is the deadly 2.5" (6cm) needle-sharp blade.
