    Class I splice for Class II rope

    That's the splice version I couldn't get to work with Amsteel II Plus, at least not the coated stuff. It might work with uncoated but the cover is just too tight with the coating.

    Class I splice for Class II rope

    Class I splice for Class II rope

    Ahh, that didn't work out for me with Amsteel II Plus. But I kind of like the lock seize. Glad you got something worked out.

    Cheers, thank you! I got the spiral idea from someone at the Samson factory, and the keychain is a result of a running joke called "will it brummel?" Because I kept trying to splice random items. The cover from Bee Line is actually crazy strong. I spliced an eye to eye sling and broke it at...
