**1: that's a monkeys fist. **2: a list of knots is really only useful if it gives a brief description of what each knot is designed to do.

What does one do with that Chinese ball knot?

You can also put some floating material like cork in the middle and use as a key ring that'll float.

Called a monkey's fist in the West, used as a heaving line to aid in in starting larger line ashore or between ships.

It's called a monkey's fist and its easier than it looks, I tie a lot of them with extra climbing rope that I have.

best part is where it skips the "now sneak a big steel ball into the middle here" steps.

Make out of paracord, put in a golf ball or steel ball, add another strap of paracord with a carabiner so you can loop it, oh KASMACK

The main thing he skipped over was the immense time it would have taken to tighten at the end because he started with a stupidly large loop.

10 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

just start with the first loop, so each loop is only tightened once. if you start with the last loop, then you have to retighten over n over

That doesn't work for proper nouns though, it is a monkeys fist, it has nothing to do with China and calling it that is just wrong
