A fid is a conical tool traditionally made of wood or bone. It is used to work with rope and canvas in marlinespike seamanship. A fid differs from a marlinspike ... morein material and purposes. A marlinspike is used in: (working with wire rope, natural & synthetic lines, may be used to open shackles), and is made of metal. A fid is used to hold open knots and holes in canvas, and to separate the "lays" (or strands) of synthetic or natural rope for splicing. A variation of the fid, the gripfid, is used for ply-split braiding. It adds a jamming cleat to pull a cord back through the cord split by the fid's point.This Fid is made of solid applewood. Some scratches remain in the finish. Treated with linseed oil.Holster is stitched leather.

24" Vintage Old Sailors Seamans Wood Wooden Rope Splicing Tool Fid Pin Nautical
Up for auction is what we believe to be an antique rope tool called a fid. We do not see any manufacturer's marks on the fid and are unsure as to who made it or where it was made. We are also unsure as to how old the fid is but are guessing that it may have been made in the 1940s or 1950s. We are also unsure as to what type of wood the fid is made from. The fid is rather long and measures roughly 24" in length. The butt end of the fid measures roughly 2" in diameter. The fid looks to have a great patina throughout and what looks to be its original finish which may be natural. The fid has nicks. Dings, scratches, discoloration, and dirty and/or stained areas. The tip of the fid also looks to be heavily damaged and has a large missing tip piece. The fid looks to weigh roughly 1 pound 7 ounces. Overall this antique wooden fid is ... morein poor condition but is sure to be a nice addition to your collection or is ready to be used.
