Description
A monkey fist is a traditional knot used by fisherman. A shore line with a monkey fist tied to the end was thrown ashore. Then the other end of the shore line still aboard the boat was tied to a heavier mooring rope to enable it to be pulled ashore.
Our Monkey Fist Keyrings have the traditional knot at one end and a spliced loop with a keyring at the other. We have different variations of rope available and this keyring has been made with rope kindly donated by Newlyn Harbour – together we are giving retired fishing gear a new lease of life.
This product saves approx 6ft of rope from going to landfill/incineration.
