The Faust Fid is a tool used for looping and splicing rope. Although it can be used for permanent splices, it is intended for splicing where the loop or splice could be removed and then a different loop or splice could be created in the future. The Faust fid can permanently adhered to the rope end to facilitate speed and ease of use/reuse when recreating a splice or loop. The Faust Fid can be made of any rigid or semi rigid material that is compatible with the material of the rope. It is possible to make a permanent Faust Fid with heat or chemical applied to the rope. When foreign material is not added to a rope, it is referred to as a "Bailey's Belly Button".
