Swedish Fid, Rope Splicing Tool, For Splicing Twisted 3-Strand Rope (AKA Marlin Spike) 2 Sizes Available

Product Description

These Swedish fid’s are the ideal choice for making an easy job of splicing 3-strand rope.  The shape of these splicing tools is perfectly suited to the process of rope splicing.  The sharp (but not too sharp) point of the splicing fid makes it easy to insert the tool between the strands of the rope, and then when the fid is pushed further into the rope strands its tapered hollow shape makes a clear path to splice the strands of the rope.

Splicing 3-stand rope may at first seem a little daunting, but actually its really easy with the right tool (these Swedish Fids) and a little guidance.  Once you have spliced an eye into the end of a rope for the first time you will never look back.  Splicing eyes into ropes is great for mooring lines, and for various other uses around the boat, and (in our experience) every time you complete one of these splices you get a great feeling of accomplishment, so please give it a go!  You can take a look at one of many videos on how to do this by clicking here.

We have two sizes of the (small and large), the small size is well suited for any line size up to about 14 or 16mm in diameter, for larger sizes of 3-strand rope you might like to use the larger size of fid.

Our Swedish fids are made from 316 stainless steel and solid wood, and will last a lifetime.
