Is this still safe to use? Seems like the fray is creeping past the sewn end but still feels solid.

its fine, id replace it once the stitching starts being affected or when I start getting nervous about it

depending on the use and whatnot, I cut ropes at the damaged spot if I can see the core through the jacket, or if more than 2 or 3 strands on tennex get cut, same for hitch cords and stuff


main thing with yours is the crossover where the stitching is won't see much load, so its extra safe
