Frequently Asked Questions
What are wood hand fids used for?
Wood hand fids are used to open and separate rope strands during splicing and to free jammed knots. They are a traditional and essential tool for ropework.
What type of wood is used?
Our fids are crafted from selected hardwood, such as oak or similar dense wood, ensuring strength and a smooth finish that resists wear.
What sizes are available?
We offer fids in 6", 8", 10", and 12" lengths. The correct size depends on the diameter of the rope you are working with; larger ropes require bigger fids.
How should I care for my wood fids?
Keep them clean and dry. Occasionally apply a light coat of oil to maintain the wood and prevent it from drying out or cracking.
