Book -Knots for boaters
"A Chapman`s Nautical Guide by Brion Toss. There are a lot of knot books around, but this is the only one that focuses on those knots, new & old, which are most useful in contemporary life; takes the nature of synthetic line into account (many once useful knots just won't work under high loads in slick line); and shows knots in ways that are designed to be easy to learn and remember.
Still a very good source - with all of the following and more: Basic Knots, Fancy Knots, Working Knots, Belays and 3 strand splicing.
Soft cover. pp 192."
Marlingspike, 6" - Oak Handled
A sturdy 6 inch spike of the best quality Jsteel, with duck bill point for smooth insertion. Small enough for tiny line, strong enough for splicing steel wire. Solid white oak handle.
