EXACTLY AS DEPICTED. PERFECT TOOL TO MAKE CERTAIN PARACORD KNOTS EASIER.
Before I recently watched a YouTube tutorial for easier method of tying the popular 2-strand Matthew Walker knot using paracord (for a lanyard or fob), I'd never heard of a "swedish fid," much less used one. But it's simple design and utility appealed to me. A little research, and I ordered this tool from this seller (perhaps ironically, I won't be using for it's primary purpose — rope splicing).Received today. Price is reasonable. Tooi is well-made; sturdy, yet light. Nice finish to both the metal and the wooden handle; no rough edges from the machining process.Attached are photos: fid in use during knot typing, and the almost finished product. (Thank you to Philip Le Masurier inspiration and instruction).

Works as expected
This little fid is a basic tool--nothing fancy--but it gets the job done. I made a test splice in 4mm hemp rope. I'm happy with the initial results. Photo attached...

Great product & service
The splicing fid was received one day early, and more than. Expected. The only comment is that both inner edges were rough, but corrected with few minutes with my garnet cloth. Thanks for a good product.

It's a tool, not a decorative piece.
This is not much of a reveiw. They are utilitarian, like a hammer. You can get a really nice one or just get one. I use them regularly and they do as they are supposed to.

Sturdy Fid but too large for 1/2" or smaller rope diameter
Tried using this size fid to work half inch braided rope but was too difficult for me and I stopped trying. I think this size fid is more suited for 3/4" rope. Wish they'd offer a size smaller. This size is marketed as "small".

This is a fid
If you know what a fid is, this is one. it works and is well constructed. There are no moving parts. Batteries are not included. Hard to use in the dark.

Product works.
Couldn't not splice my treated 1/2" three strand anchor rode with out this tool. Tried several times with all types of tools. Fid made it possible to accomplish the task.
