Samson recommends splicing as the preferred rope termination method. Knots can significantly decrease a rope's strength while, in most cases, splicing maintains 100% of the specified rope strength. This makes splicing a more reliable and durable option for critical applications. Splice terminations are used in all our ropes to determine new and unused tensile strengths. Our commitment to quality and safety means you can trust our ropes to perform under the toughest conditions in any industry.
Our instructional guides cover a wide range of splicing techniques, helping professionals from different industries handle rope splicing with confidence. Whether you're in marine, industrial, arborist, or recreational sectors, our step-by-step tutorials make learning straightforward and effective. Explore our resources, such as instructional PDF’s and video tutorials, to see how mastering rope splicing can improve safety and efficiency in your work.

Eye Splice Lock Stitching Procedure
End-for-End Lock Stitching Procedure
Eye Splice: Creates a secure loop at the end of the rope. An eye splice is usually used for mooring lines, towing, arborist, and emergency rescue work.
Short Splice: Alternate splice method that may be used when length is limited; this splice does not retain full strength efficiency.
Long Splice: This connects ropes with minimal bulk - great for sailing and rigging.
3-Strand: Used in marine and commercial fishing industries, this technique retains the strength of 3-strand ropes.
Double Braid: For double-braided ropes. Ensure you choose the correct method for your rope: Class 1 vs Class 2
8-Strand: For 8-strand ropes and often used in industrial lifting and towing.
Round Plait: Provides a method for splicing firmer round plait 12-strand constructions. Can be used in specialized marine and heavy-duty industrial tasks.
Miscellaneous Splices: For unique ropes with specific industry needs.
