Description

The Swedish Fid Hollow Spike is a classic marine rope splicing tool, designed to assist in opening, separating, and guiding strands of rope during splicing operations. Crafted for use with synthetic or natural fiber ropes, it enables neat and professional rope work – from creating eyes and loops to repairing lines on board.

Made from durable marine-grade material, the fid features a hollow body that allows you to feed rope strands through for clean and controlled splices. It’s an essential tool for any sailor, rigger, or boat enthusiast who needs to perform manual ropework, whether on deck or at dock.

Available in two sizes to match the diameter of your ropes, the Swedish Fid offers better control, safety, and finish than improvised tools or makeshift methods.
