I've read others having trouble cutting amsteel, I just hold the strands with my thumb, and pull down on the other side. Works great...

re-splice your hook (if your only using a fixed eye, you can skip the step of pulling out the splice, you can make a fixed eye with one end of the cord, not so easy with hardware though...)

pull the end back through the constrictor....

re-backsplice the tail

...finish the safety knot

backsplice the end (ok I guess now you've finished the knot)
