Eye Splice a Rope - How to Eye Splice a 3 Strand Rope - Easy to Follow Splicing (Revisited)
The eye splice is a great way of making a permanent loop in a rope. Another advantage is that an eye splice reduces the amount of stress that is put in a rope when under load. Eye Splices average a 10-15% reduction in the strength of a rope, which is extremely low compared to the strongest knot. Below I have put a link to a chart showing the strength of various knots. Eye Splices are still very much in use today.

Very helpful. I somehow forgot how to eyesplice due to my ability to "quickthrow" bowline knots. I cant understand why but i always forget how to properly splice 3 strand and have had to relearn how to atleast 10 times now and have been laughed at for forgetting how in the industry i work in 🤷 . If you saw my makeshift "afrosplice" method youd probably laugh too

Not sure if you are interested, but the Marlin Eye Splice makes a good splice and is so easy to remember: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osWSq91pr9ScdWw.htmlsi=jkAbwh1baiuprdyQ In one of the comments below is a link to it being tested against a normal eye splice.

When I was taught to do this about 55 years ago, when done making the loop, take the rope, place it on the floor, put your shoe on it, and roll it back and forth with most of your weight. This will totally smooth it out. Thanks for bringing back childhood memory! Respectfully, Kevin

Yours is the first video (of many) I've watched that's effectively demonstrated the nuances of an apparently intricate, but remarkably simple to replicate splice. (As an aside, self-deprecating humor is always a bonus and yours is both subtle and appreciated.)

Great explanation! What I do (with synthetic rope) is to finish the splice off with more tucks, but reducing the strands in each strand every time (melting the cut "substrands" every time) so that the tucks taper down to almost nothing. Gives a very neat result.

To taper the splice, which is always a good idea, just make an extra tuck in the second strand and two extra tucks in the third. All the strands should end up on the same side of the line. Also, the finishing touch of every three strand splice is to lay it on deck and roll it under your foot. It will really make the splice look finished.

When i was a kid my father had a 20' length of 2" synthetic rope we always carried in the safari wagon for pulling ourselves or most of the time other's out of ditches in Alaska . It had splices like this . Never knew how it was done . I've seen it done many times since then but I still have never done it myself . That rope held up until the 90's when it was finally ripped apart pulling a semi out of the mud in washington , crazy . My dad and that rope saved a lot of folks from a minor inconveniences that could have led to possibly becoming life threatening situations . We rescued a couple on the ALCAN highway on the way down to washington up in the yukon territory middle of nowhere . It was January and I remember how grateful they were , they said they had been stuck for hours before we came along . Anyways it is a nice skill to have .

Been tying this knot for 49 years. Done it in all sizes of rope. With thimbles sometimes. You do a good job explaining and showing how it is done. The twist as you go is important to keep the lay of the tucks. The only differences I have are; 1 no marking tape or masking tape. and the first three tucks, I do not pull them in for the final shape of the eye until all three are in place. It keeps the beginning tucks easier to start when the first one and second one are not tight into the original rope. Great explanation.

"and the first three tucks, I do not pull them in for the final shape of the eye until all three are in place. It keeps the beginning tucks easier to start when the first one and second one are not tight into the original rope." I would try this, but my concern is that I'd lose all sense of time and space to the jumbled rope.

Served two union apprenticeships; Millwright and Ironworker. This was taught in the classes. Very interesting, and used in life situations periodically. Great demonstration and video. Thanks.

I was wondering how long ago was it that you were taught this............. I wonder if still taught? Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

@@KnottingKnots Millwright apprenticeship started in 1972, and Ironworker in 1984. I would imagine the rope splicing is still taught as I think it is still part of construction work.

Been an engineer on ships for 5 years now. Tried to mess with splicing a couple of time, couldn't make it work... Till this day ! Today I effectively made my first fully functional (though not the most eye appealing) eye splice. A million thanks to you, John Debt because next Friday I'll be asked to do exactly that for a "job interview". If I get that job, man, I swear, I'll come to your place and grab you a drink, wherever that place is

As an ex Royal Navy engineer, I too struggled with the knots. I really started the channel so that I could remember them. There is also something called the Lazy Splice or the Marlin Eye splice: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osWSq91pr9ScdWw.html also in the video's description, there is a link to it being tested compared to a normal splice (it is strong). It is very quick if you are in a hurry though. Good luck and let me know how you got on.

thank you! I did it with a 22mm diameter cotton rope for building an static trapeze, it was hard at the beginning because of the unwrapping fibers, but the video was really clear and helpful.

Cheers!! I started a long time ago to "over explain" as I have one subscriber who is blind. He and his granddaughter follow the videos, he listens and she watches. He ties the knot and if he goes wrong his granddaughter corrects him. A lovely little bond must be growing between them?
