You can also use the Samson technique for splicing which uses a lock stitch instead of a Brummel. I tested a piece of Amsteel with eye splices on each end, one of each type. It failed in the middle of the line. In other words, both splices were stronger than the line they were made of. Samson claims their technique is just as good or better than a Brummel, I can't remember which they said, and I have no reason to doubt that.
