Samson recommends splicing as the preferred rope termination method. Knots can significantly decrease a ropes strength while, in most cases, splicing maintains 100% of the specified rope strength. Splice terminations are used in all our ropes to determine new and unused tensile strengths.

What is the UV life?
UV life for Link-It Max is dependent on exposure. The strength-bearing component of Link-It Max is made with HMPE fiber, which is less susceptible to UV degradation compared to other fibers (aramid, polypropylene, etc.). The addition of a polyester jacket allows UV protection for the strength-bearing member. Samson recommends storing Link-It Max in a clean, dry area and out of direct sunlight for the best UV life.
Nice information
Do this joining end to end splicing good for joining ocean towing on tug boats❓
Snake oil
Isnt this for boats? If so, do surges only ever come in 1's? What happend when the next wave hits and surges back again
If this is the easiest way to do an eye splice in Dyneema double braided line, I see why riggers charge so much!
Perfecto 👍
Samson is truly an awesome company on all levels. Owning my own rope and cordage company for decades, I engineered a nearly identical safety system in the early 1990s. After I sold the company in 2000, I had an opportunity to interview for a position at Sampson. I am glad to see Samson is finally offering the nearly identical system now which they could have done so when I interviewed with them in the early 2000s.
Am curious.. ur great
Dude idk but this is freaking hard
Awesome Feature. Just 2 questions... 1.) What happens if vessel moves further and the defender Breaks at any time (as vessels movement will not stop as the tug in the Video)? 2.) Is the defender floatable or will it cause my floating Main line to sink? Looking forward to rcv more info!
Thank you for the great questions. Here are our answers: 1) When the Defender Fuse deploys or activates, it will elongate up to 150% while it maintains connection and dissipates the recoil energy, also providing a clear visual indication that action is needed. As the fuse is elongating, the remaining vessel mooring lines will begin sharing the mooring load of the vessel until action is taken, as shown by the arrival of the tug in the video to support the crew. By providing the elongation and dissipation of the energy, the risk of recoil is minimized. If the load on the fuse continues to the full elongation, it will part but with a much lower level of energy. More info regarding the elongation of the catch and unit weight is available here: www.samsonrope.com/docs/default-source/nonmsl-pdfs/ds_defender_fuse_web.pdf 2) The Defender Fuse will sink due to the combination of materials, including the chafe protection. This would be similar to the impact of most mooring tails being installed, (non floating, of course).
Very bad video too complicate.
What is a 'ROPE PICK"?
Pls give the link of Samson app
You can download our Samson App in the Apple App, Google Play or Microphone Store.
To whom this may concern, I was introduced to, and therefore sold, first a hank and then the rest of the best spool, later that day, of 3/4 in double braid samsom rope. No one wanted it and i was in a great need of it. SOLD, the man said, at this hardware shop in Poughkeepsie ny. Many years later, i still have it and in mint condition. Thanks to you and your high quality products. Sincerely,, j.j.
Thank you! We are glad your are enjoying our double braid rope.
If we do a rope-to-chain slice without an eye, but by cris-crossing the strand pairs with the chain (similar to how it's done with the samson's 3-strand rope-to-chain instruction pdf), will this change the order of the marked/"grey" strands tucking underneath the non marked/"white" strands somehow?
Greetings: I would like to ask you for help with a problem I am having (and I apologize as I am using Google Translate). I recently bought the "Samsong splicing kit for brained ropes" but where I live the ropes I get do not have a braided core but only individual strands. Do you know any techniques to make the eye on this type of rope? Saludos: Me gustaría solicitarle ayuda con un problema que tengo (y pido disculpas ya que estoy usando el traductor de Google). Recientemente compré el "Samsong splicing kit for brained ropes" pero donde vivo las cuerdas que consigo no tienen el alma trenzada sino solamente hilos individuales. ¿Conoce alguna técnica para hacer el ojo en este tipo de cuerda?
Does anyone at Sampson know how to do a true 8 strand join splice?. It's so much smaller, tighter and neater than the 4 pairs of 2. 👍
Why make things more complicated with another splice? Since the only difference appears to be material and not construction.
Marking and tapering the core is completely redundant. In 20 years, I've never done this, especially in new rope. I could see doing it in some used ropes but I've never done it in those either. Onece i get the core sticking out the cover i removed all of the slack pull the core out about 1/2" and cut it where it comes out of the cover, remove the slack again to suck the core in then pull the cover over to finish the eye. No need to taper!
I cannot for the life of me get the core from mark X to Z. I tried a smaller find, still no luck. What’s the trick?
Would it make sense to apply tension on the fresh eye splice before lock stitching? If so, is there a suggested value (eg __% of MBS ). If not what’s the rationale?
That’s a great question! We recommend pinning the vertex of the eye (base of the eye) with an awl or spike, milking all the slack out of the splice with good force and stitching afterwards.
Badass 🎉
Would be great if you can make a video on how to connect 8 strand to chain for a windlass anchor
Thank you for the feedback! For an 8-Strand to chain we would just use an 8-Strand Class 1 splice and make the eye as small as possible to hold a chain link.
Or thimble on the rope, then a shackle then chain?
What is the t-handle pull tool at 0:30 called? Who makes it and where can I buy it
Sorry for the late reply. This tool is a modified T puller with a small wire added. You can purchase it from some of our distributors like West Marine in store or online.
You turned a splice into algebra. Too complicated
Use numbers instead of letters then. If you can't follow this you shouldn't be rigging.
Can this be done with a 5/8”Cotton rope?
Be nice if you linked to the lock stitch
Could strands from the splice taper be used instead of the twine? It would give a good color match.
This looks like a Dyneema/Amsteel splice. Is the twine polyester or nylon? If so, could you use strands from the taper for this?
The twine in the video is nylon and we also use polyester for stitching. We don't normally use taper strands to stitch with and recommend twine (polyester or nylon) for the best results.
I watched a lot of videos on making eye splices, and I found this one to be the best. My first eye splice turned out perfectly.
Super helpful. Thanks for the info.
Thank you for this detailed tutorial. I wanted to point a couple of possible updates to the pdf version. A. Nowhere in the pdf is the importance of stitching twine construction or diameter mentioned. B. Step 4 (in the pdf) recommends tying a square knot, which was slightly confusing.
Thank you! We recently updated the Lock Stitching Splice, and you can now find the most recent written instruction on SamsonRope.com or the Samson App. Visit www.samsonrope.com/resources/how-to-splice-rope for more info.
Excellent ... Very Clear. Thanks
How can I get the tools you are working with and what are they called , is there somewhere I can buy them , could you help me please , Thank you
Apologies for the late reply. You can find our splice kits and tools through one of our distributors near your location. Visit www.samsonrope.com/resources/find-a-distributor for more info.
Great video. Thanks. Made my first eye splice tonight. With a little more practice I think I’ve got it!
Very good easy to follo.👍
95% I have to try this. That is a pretty big percentage.
Would have liked to have seen or known more about the rope.
Is it just me or is the fid required for a 5/8 diameter rope supposed to be 13" not 11 like it says here. Unless I'm going crazy an 11" fid should be used for 1/2" rope....?
I usually use one size bigger fid w Amsteel 12 strand, do a 72 x diameter bury, so half inch gets 36 inch bury w tapers
thank you!
Is there a chance we get some day explanation on how to splice 24 strand rope?
😂
This video would be much easier to follow without the cut scenes and change in camera angles
Great video. Thanks. I found this vid to be a great companion to the written instructions. My first attempt took a long time, but turned out great. After making several eye splices it goes pretty quick now. Better than paying $$ for the local chandlery to do it. One thing that confused me in the instructions is they kept mentioning “the crossover” but did not define what that is. The crossover is the point where the cover is first fed into the core and later the core backtracks into the cover. Hope that helps. Be advised, if you are working with old stiff rope the splice will be much more difficult. Try unlocking the fibers by first soaking and flexing the rope (at least 6 feet or 2m at the end) and letting it dry. New rope is very easy to work with.
Is that standard wire? Typically on cranes, non-rotational cable is used... But... Still pretty nice...
Are polyester ropes toxic for humans or dogs?
While polyester is a common fiber utilized in clothing and dog toys, Samson ropes are not designed specifically with certified food-safe materials. If considering a rope for use where there is a potential for oral contact, products with polyurethane-based coatings added for increased abrasion resistance should be avoided.
Are there any 'forever chemicals' used in these, or have they been tested to be safe for people, plants, and animals?
All chemicals in our products are PTFE free, REACH compliant, and Prop 65 compliant.
I’m so lost, too many camera angles!
Sorry about that. We also have PDF's with the instructions on our website if that's better for you. samsonrope.com/resources/how-to-splice-rope
If you are visual like I am, it confusing at first. What’s basically happening is you pull out a specific length of core from a specific measured spot. The magic then happens by stuffing part of the empty cover into the core, and backtracking the core into the cover. It looks like a mess near the end, then it all comes together in the last step. One thing that confused me in the instructions is they kept mentioning “the crossover” but did not define what that is. The crossover is the point where the cover is first fed into the core and later the core backtracks into the cover. Hope that helps.
This splice is very confusing. You're not alone. Even after a lot of practice and doing them well now, I'm still amazed at whoever thought this up first.
