Kurzbeschreibung
Features of this work include: over 200 tying techniques comprehensively illustrated in step-by-step photographs; all the key knot types covered: bends, hitches, bindings, loops, mats, plaits, rings and slings; knot categories include angling and fishing, boating and sailing, caving and climbing, general purpose and outdoor pursuits; information on cord and rope fibres, and an invaluable table charting the qualities and breaking strengths of each; and, over 1,200 colour photographs. There are several thousand knots in existence and an almost infinite number of variations of these. This reference manual and practical handbook presents over 200 knots, illustrating how to tie them in step-by-step photographs and clear, detailed text. These include familiar knots, such as the simple overhand or thumb knot, but there are also more challenging knots. Each set of instructions is clearly written and accompanied by precise photographs that take you through every step of tying the knot. Whether you are an eager beginner or a lifelong devotee of the satisfying art of knot-tying, this handbook will prove an absorbing and indispensable guide.
Über den Autor
Geoffrey Budworth is a prolific writer and an influential name on the knotting scene. Twenty-five years ago he promoted the systematic evaluation of knotted clues preserved at scenes of crime, and the subsequent presentation of such evidence in the courts, which has resulted in him being called 'the Father of Forensic knotting'. In 1982 he co-founded the International Guild of Knot Tyers and is a past President of the Guild as well as a frequent contributor to its quarterly magazine Knotting Matters.

One of best basic knots books, with some decorative
24. Januar 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
Divided into section such as loops, knots, hitches, decorative, etc and with a whole lot of knots to suit most every occasion, and some text as to when to use or avoid. Mainly it is step by step, high-gloss, full-color pictures of all the steps with colored ropes and nice images of the knots in use or in nice stills. Some knots have two steps, some take up a page or more so the detail and every step is there, I'd estimate 97% of the time. I learn to tie so many knots from this, my first, knot book. It is a handy reference, not too thick and not too large. It is not pocket-size but I have the hardback and it is a great book I would highly recommend, whether you are just starting, tie alot, or need a book around for reference occasionally. It mentions many knots I never knew existed and I was glad to be able to see and learn. Granted I have never seen Ashley's Book of Knots, and don't have it yet, but I have this one and it does the job and I have moved on to Marlinspike and decorative work, to add to my knot-tying skill set, yet this one I always have in my ditty bag along with two others right now. This is the basic one I use and I have two of decorative/projects. So I would say if you think a picture is worth a thousand words, and you need to know knots ranging from a reef knot to various bowlines to an alpine butterfly to farmer's loops and Bimini twists to a one's you may or may not use or thought to use but might because you would never know them without a book like this, this is a great book to own and well worth it.

Great and easy to follow. Most terms are european.
14. November 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I tie knots for about 25% of my job, so it has been an interest to learn different techniques and history. To my suprise when I read this, I found what USA knows as a square knot the rest of the world calls a reef knot. European square knot is a different knot. Same with many more knots. Anyway great read and shows uses for rope I never thought of. Easy to follow and has info for natural/synthetic cordage of all types. Neat. Book is large, contains more photos then text, and includes some but not much history of each knot. This is a good book whether you are trying to keep your shoes tied(square(reef)),making a coveted Diamond hitch, or the feared but utilitarian hangman's noose.
My favorite knot book
23. April 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
This is my favorite book on knot tying (and I have over 20 books on the subject). The photographs are clear, the instructions are easy to follow, and it covers a wide range of knots for every need. This is truly one of the best books on knotting available. I liked it so much I bought a second copy!
