Knots and Splices
| View Cart ⇗ | Info
“Knots and splices include all the various methods of tying, fastening, and joining ropes or cords. ‘Splicing’ is the process employed to join two ropes when it is not advisable to use a knot. The three chief varieties of the splice are the short splice, the long splice, and the eye splice. The eye splice is, as the term implies, used to form an eye, or round a dead eye, and is shown finished in figure 19."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)
