A ferrule for use on the end of a wire rope comprises a swageable metal body having a forward nose section and a rearward open terminal section interconnected by a longitudinally extending bore. The bore has a plurality of circumferentially formed ridges defined by leading and trailing surfaces meeting at an angle of not more than about 90 DEG . When a wire rope is inserted into the bore and the ferrule swaged, the metal is displaced from the rope into the recesses present between the ridges. The leading surface of each ridge thereupon provides a buttress, backing up the metal displaced into the recesses, and opposing withdrawal of the rop when a pulling stress is applied to it.
