Finally someone that uses the remaining strand to stitch the splice with it. I always thought it was a waste of stands to NOT use them. Great idea if I say so myself. Great video. Keep it up.
Hi, I just made an eye splice on Samson Hyperclimb 24 strand double braid and wanted to lock stitch the eye, but the first 3 inches are so solid and dense that I can’t get a needle through. Any tips? Can I simply stitch it further down the rope where it’s a little softer? Thank you!
Yep, this is pretty common. Moving that stitch down the throat a bit is fine. As long as that stitching goes through the cover/core blend part you are good.
Depending on the type of rope and its construction will determine what kind of splice is needed. A Type II splice is done on ropes that are core dependent. This type of splice is not better or worse than the splice done on a double braid nylon, it's just the procedure is different. I hope this helps clear things up.
If you are using a locking brummel splice then, no, not really. It wouldn't hurt to throw in some stitches in the burry part if you wanted. but a proper locking brummel splice locks that rope tail from coming out of the core.
Great video! I enjoyed the pace of it and your explanation, no extra noise with sound . Thank you 🙏

Excellent video
Great video ! When you use the ropes own thread to lock stitch, how to you finish it ? Do you just embed it in ?
Thank you

get a hammer and encourage the needle through.

I didn’t understand from the video whether “class 2” splices are better?

On a single braided dyneema lock splice, does it make sense stiching?

Load test it... That white rope is actually spliced how Samson suggest they want the jacket tabbed out and ladder halfhitched to it..
