  • Information and ideas for using each knot

  • A "hands-on" knot directory outlines the function and formation of over 70 knots and categorises them according to physical properties, making it easy to find the right knot for the job at hand.
The knots set out in ten chapters include:
  • Quick-Tie Knots: overhand knot, cow hitch, figure-eight knot
  • Easy-release Knots: the bow knot, the reef knot
  • Hold-Fast Knots: the surgeon's knot, Klemheist knot
