The term "eye splice" refers to a type of knot used to create a fixed loop at the end of a rope. There are several synonyms for this knot, including "end splice," "loop splice," and "Bury splice." Each term may be used interchangeably to refer to the same knot, which involves weaving the end of a rope back into itself to create a loop. Eye splices are commonly used in sailing and other maritime activities to create strong, permanent loops for securing lines to various objects. Learning to tie an eye splice is an essential skill for anyone working with ropes and knots in these settings.
