A nice splice, except for one thing. The brummel was put in backwards and therefore locks in the wrong direction. It could pull out under load, making it little better than no brummel at all. To make a locking brummel this way, you need to first pass the end through point B' and then pass the resulting loop through point A'.
I don't know how you make it look so easy! I spent an entire afternoon getting the cover between the core and itself. Lot of friction, pulling, blisters, and hammering. I even used a soft fid! (Did you edit that part out? ;-))
We did not edit that part out, but it could be tough with some tight ropes for sure. You seem to have all the right tools, the only advice we have left is to keep on practicing ;-)
I would have just did a core dependant splice and the eye would have been fully covered in the end. The differance would have been to pass the tail through twice then streight burry,then milk jacket up and tuck tail and tapper tail then milk out and walla your done.
This method is only suitable for ropes with a core of Dyneema or Vectran. If your core is Polyester, please use this method: ua-cam.com/video/1GvXKiH1kLw/v-deo.html
@babisyok, one of the keys to this being successful is a very tight brummel and an excellent taper. work the brummel until it is very very tight. Also, don't bury the brummel until you've pulled the cover down - it's a balancing act of moving getting the cover over the knot and pulling the slack from the knot. I just did this in some mlx3 and had the same problem you did for the first attempt.
Can i use this eye splice safely on a mainsail halyard icm a Wichard quick shake to connect to sail top? (to hoist a 45m2 main sail on my C-31 trimaran)
Splicing Dyneema ropes gives a reduction of about 10% breaking strength. Whereas a knotin Dyneema can reduce 40-50%. Keep the 50 times the diameter for point A in account and you have a very strong splice.

Awesome video! Is this Warpspeed II? 8mm?

I'm impressed! Thanks for the great instructional videos. This is why UA-cam is a great invention!
Can I do this with excel controll rope
The core isn't dyneema
Does this matter?
This splice is only suitable for ropes with a Dyneema core.
super ! thanks a lot, thanks for sharing
You're welcome 😊

A nice splice. Is this splicing method suitable for other double braided rope? For example: 24 strands double braided rope.

I try this with D-performance and S-cup but at the end i cant milk the last part of dynema into the cover it became too tight! Any advice?
That is indeed a tricky part, we have uploaded this video for tips & tricks on that: ua-cam.com/video/luWu1OUd3XI/v-deo.html

Thanks, will do so and use your very useful YT video as guide
