Can the 'Chinese finger trap' take the full load of that rope?

It is something we have been doing for years with barberhauls, just the way of fitting it to the deck is new…

Agreed, but how does it interface with the metal part and how does it retain the strength? The weak part (or so it seems) is the fact that it somehow relys on very short transition between fibre and metal. Still not clear how that works!
