Handbook of Knotting and Splicing

Clearly written and amply illustrated with 208 figures, this 1904 classic offers timeless instruction. Starting with simple and useful knots, the manual proceeds to more complex varieties: eye knots, hitches, and bends, ring knots and rope shortenings, ties and lashings, and fancy knots. Additional topics include rope splicing, working cordage, hammock making, more.
