The excess green dye has now taken up residence among my fingernails... This is a round sinnet fob using green 1.4mm trot line, with a wall knot(completion stitch), then I made a monkey's fist with each of the four strands with an airsoft bb for the core of each. Shown attached to a SAK Tinker.
That is pretty neat...and my favorite pocket knife to boot. I am never without mine, but it doesn't have the nifty fob.
ReplyDeleteI really like this one!
ReplyDeletedifferent but very good

That's awesome! How are "monkey's fists" made?
ReplyDeleteThere are many tutorials online for making a Monkey's Fist. They don't really help with the 'tightening up' of the fist though, and that's where a lot of folks get lost.
ReplyDeleteI put up a video tutorial for it on youtube last year that has helped a few folks figure it out.
