8x3-Strand Class II Eye Splice
SAMSON SPLICING INSTRUCTIONS
8-strand ropes, also known as plaited ropes, are composed of 8 strands grouped into 4
pairs. 2 of these pairs turn to the left (shown in gray), and 2 pairs turn to the right (shown
in white.) Seen in cross section, the 4 strand pairs form the sides of a square. The strands
that are on opposite sides of the square will rotate in the same direction.
Tools RequiRed
A splicing d or marlinspike, sharp knife or scissors, plastic or masking tape, marking pen.
Class II ropes are made in whole or part from any of the following high modulus bers: Dyneema
®
, Vectran
®
, Technora
®
, and Zylon
®
.
The eye splice is used to place a permanent loop in the end of a rope, generally for attachment purposes to a xed point. An
eye is also used to form the rope around a thimble, which is used to protect the rope, especially when it is to be attached to a
shackle, chain, or wire rope.
GETTING STARTED
COUNTING AND MARKING
1
step
From the end of the rope, count a distance of
16 picks and apply tape securely around the
rope immediately after the 16th pick, as shown
in the illustration. This is Mark 1. Apply the tape
securely enough so that it will not move during
the splicing procedure.
From the end of the rope; mark the rst
16 picks up to the tape at Mark 1 continue
marking the length of the eye and at least
an additional 6 picks past Mark 2. Mark all
strands that rotate left on both sides of the
braided rope.

MAKING THE EYE AND MARKING THE ROPE
MARKING THE LEFT-ROTATING STRANDS
Form the desired size of the eye, being careful
not to add twist to the rope. Mark the rope
adjacent to the tape. This is Mark 2.
Note: The strands that rotate left
(gray) can be marked for improved
visual reference. 8-strand ropes are
composed of 4 pairs of 2 strands each.
2 of the strand pairs rotate to the left,
and 2 pairs rotate to the right. When
marking the left-rotating strands, be
sure to turn the rope over and mark
the left-rotating strands on the
opposite side of the braid.
