The Point Hudson Phid by Brion Toss for 3 Strand Rope and Mega Braid.
We like this phid. It makes a smaller hole in the rope than ordinary fids, so a smoother, fairer splice results, with no hockles or sliced yarns. It is easy to enter, even into hard-laid rope. And, there are no sharp edges to damage rope fibers.
An artful “cutaway”, allows you to leave the phid in the rope while tucking the strand; no more yanking and dragging to get the strand home. Comfortable ball handle.
For 3 Strand Rope 5/16" to 5/8"
Note: This Phid will splice Mega-Braid, though the size must be appropriate for the rope. Some splicers who work with Mega-Braid will cut a Wand down, clamp it in a vise, and “punch” the rope on to splice. Mega-Braid is a tough splice, and the rope stiffens up further as the splice proceeds. Practice is required when splicing Mega-Braid.
