Question
Is a splice considered a knot for the purposes of altering the rope?
asked 5 days ago by FRC 3407 ROPE
Answer
No, a splice is not a knot. Splicing is defined as "join or connect (a rope or ropes) by interweaving the strands." Thus, a spliced ROPE does consist of fibers woven together (per
I04-D), but would need to satisfy the 1 in. maximum width specified in
I04-A
