Here’s a different item for you. The monkey fist knot was originally used by sailors. They would tie this knot at the end of a heaving line thrown from ship to shore or ship to ship. It allowed them to use a smaller rope to throw that was connected to the main heavy dock lines that were then pulled. Sometimes the knots were tied around a heavy object like a rock which allowed for longer throws but the guy on the receiving end, if hit, usually wasn’t too happy and cut the knot off.
Our Monkey Fist necklace is roughly 3/4 inch in diameter, about the size of a nickle, and is finished with a noose knot. It’s tied with 2mm leather cord in either black, brown or natural color. These are really nice looking necklaces that will set you apart from the crowd.
