This is sherrill's solution for a 12 strand splice. The grillion lanyard is the same thing too.
Looks like it would snag in a crotch and wouldn't even fit through the small ring of a friction saver. Maybe not though.
You are certainly right Jonny. But to Sherrill's credit there is a note in their catalog stating that the stitched eye splice is only really good for lanyards and split tails, not recommended for climbing lines.
I think those swaged eyes would be safer with 6 clamps on them!
Better yet, Just use 3/4" cable.
Just because splicing rope has been done for over a hundred years and used by folks from every part of the world without any problems doesn't make it safe ya know.
