With all the knots I make, the eye splice is one of the best items I make. This splice has alluded me for a long time, but with the help of the International Guild of Knot Tyers as helped me become a better knot Tyer. There are many books with instructions on how to splice different lines. The author does not always convey all the steps that are needed to start and end the splice. For me I am better at being showed how to take apart and replace the line. Double braid line requires 15 steps to make the compound eye splice.
