A rope splicing implement which permits pointed jaw members to be inserted between adjacent strands of a rope and opened when its handle members are squeezed together. A locking lever member is pivotally secured to one of the handle members and cammingly engages the other handle member. A threaded bolt member serves as an adjustable stop member for the locking lever member whereby the amount of opening of the jaw members may be varied. A tension spring member coupled with an over-toggle action of the locking lever permits the implement to be locked in its open position whereby both hands of the user are free to effect the rope splicing or laminating. Thereafter, a release lever may be actuated with one hand to close the jaw members.
