A fid is a conical tool traditionally made of wood or bone. It is used to work with rope and canvas in marlinespike seamanship. The length of these fids is typically 21 or 22 times the diameter of rope to be spliced.
The length of the splicing tool, called a “fid,” may or may not have a 1:1 correlation with the fid length for a given rope diameter. The “fid length” for a rope is calculated as 21 times the rope diameter.
