An eye-splice is a type of knot that creates a permanent loop at the end of a rope. Other synonyms for this knot include "loop knot," "end loop," and "bullock's eye splice." Some other synonyms that refer to the process of creating an eye-splice include "weaving a loop," "threading a loop," and "forming a bight." Eye-splices are commonly used in boating and rigging, and they provide a secure and strong loop that can hold heavy objects. There are several variations of the eye-splice, such as the short splice and the long splice, but their purpose is the same - to create a loop at the end of a rope.
