Unlike the dakkos of an entry set, gassot hold their perfect square for decades, and if they are ever dented or chipped, a certified sofer STaM can sand, re-square, and repaint them to new condition. A gassot pair is best understood as a purchase for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work behind this is remarkable, from pressing the wet hide to letting the batim harden for a year or more before finishing.

Where a basic set already uses quality Or-Elyon straps, this pair goes a step further to fully hand-worked retzuos, and the way they sit and hold is a difference a mavin notices immediately.
