Samson's Eye Slings are constructed from Samthane coated stable braid spliced with a 6" eye on one end. Commonly used to secure around a tree trunk creating a secure point for a rigging block etc. For best results, a cow hitch is typically used to secure in place. Stable braid working load - 5/8" = 1,630 lbs. Knots and bending used to secure sling will reduce workload limit.
