Back Splice
The back splice is made to prevent the end of the rope from raveling. It can be used instead of making a whipping.
Eye Splice
The eye splice is about the most useful of all splices. It creates a permanent fixed loop at the end of a rope.
Short Splice
A short splice can be used in place of a knot to join two ropes, or the ends of the same rope together.
