- blacksmith_tb 12y agoWhere "better" means less likely to fail - in many cases, it could mean "quick" or "easy to teach" for example, which splices are not. Given the tremendous strength of much modern synthetic cordage (especially Spectra / Dyneema), quick-to-tie knots that weaken the line, even by a significant percentage, may be preferable.
