Egmont M. Friedl
With over 20,000 copies sold, this book is the standard work on the subject. It combines the best of both worlds: the precise textual and pictorial description of the most important knots, rigging, rope shackles and splices on the one hand and the clear explanation of how they are made in 50 video tutorials on the other.

In the videos, which have a total running time of more than three hours, the author produces the knots and splices from the viewer's point of view and comments on his approach and precise working methods in such a lively way that learning success is guaranteed.

The book provides orientation and guidance by explaining the various areas of application, breaking loads and properties of the respective knots and splices. With the help of videos that can be accessed via QR code or short URL, users can put together their own learning programme and - unlike live lessons - repeat it as often as they like.

By dealing with complicated splices in braided and kernmantle cordage as well as between rope and chain, these instructions go far beyond the repertoire of a conventional knot book in this area. The author is a practitioner and a professional - which is evident in every one of his skilful moves and precise comments.
