A high quality wood and stainless steel Swedish fid that is perfect for splicing ropes with a tapered end to slide between strands, allowing the strands of the splicing rope to be moved underneath. Ã
These types of fids are also effective for opening up hollow braid rope to make a brummel splice, moving the rope down the side before tightening it up again. Despite being a fairly basic tool, it's incredibly useful for anyone with any degree of knowledge of splicing - whether beginner or advanced.
