Splices
End- or Back Splice
The End- or Backsplice is used to avoid a rope from fraying. The disadvantage is that back-spliced ropes are not useable for tackles and in blocks anymore. This splice is started with a crown knot. After this each strand is tucked over one, under one for several times. When finished, trim the remaining ends.
 
Eye Splice
The Eye Splice is used to make a permanent noose (eye or loop) at the end of a rope. Take care that you ALWAYS start tucking in with the middle strand. Work tight after each tuck. Make a total of three series of tucks. Now you can do a few more tucks. Halve each strand and tuck in. This will give you the effect of a tapered splice.
 
Short Splice
The Short Splice is used to connect two ropes of equal thickness together. The result is a rope with a thickening in it. This makes it difficult or even impossible to run this rope through a block. This splice is stronger than the Long Splice.
 
Cut- or Cont Splice
The Short Splice is used to connect two ropes of equal thickness together. The result is a rope with a thickening in it. This makes it difficult or even impossible to run this rope through a block. This splice is stronger than the Long Splice.
