WOW!! Dude thank you!! The pinching tip, to let me just pull a strand w/o bunching-up the other-side of the cover, is great!! And the 'counting-by-tracers', as well as using the colors as guidelines, tip is just brilliant as well!! Am sadly not able to find a SINGLE backsplice video , am going to 'free-hand' it based on Samson's written instructions (although I'm aiming for a tighter, tapered tip, like Teufelberger does on some of theirs for knotability of the final product), this'll be for the tail-ends of a couple nearly-20' slings I made with 3/4" polydyne, my biggest worry isn't free-handing a tapered ending, that should be easy since it's non-functional lol, my biggest worry is my uncertainty over whether I should be stitching-in the core-to-the-cover when doing this,, or letting the core reside unencumbered in the backsplice... Oh and those scissors with the blunt edge, awesomeness!! I've got one heck of a lil splicing-gear collection going (100% stuff I had on-hand, didn't go-out for anything :D ), it's funny how we find what works, hadn't thought of dulling one tip of a pair of scissors for this, actually don't have dedicated splicing-scissors but will get some and copy your idea it's great! While I know there's a ton of options for pulling-through twine for whip-locking, I found a perfect "heavy duty stitching needle" in the form of a car-tire puncture-repair-kit, if you just sand/smooth the tip of it it's like a giant awl with a hole for the threading, mine's very similar to the one here images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81EGWOeH4KL._SX522_.jpg Will be smoothing-out its edges today before doing my lock-stitches & tapered back-splices :D
