TIE KNOTS THE FUN AND EASY WAYBetter to know a knot and not need it, than need a knot and not know it.WelcomeWelcome to the most popular website about knots. You can start with The Basics; Find a Knot by Name; or select one of the Sections in the row above. Each animation can be controlled: step through with the arrow keys, use your mouse, or choose the speed. There is additional information beneath each animation. Website ChangesIn December 2011 new animations replace previous sets of images. They include all the neckties in the Household Section and all the whippings in the in the Rope Care Section. Help Us with the Origin of a NameWork has started on a new section about Splicing. It will include the Brummel Splice. We would like to know the origin of this name. If you know, please Contact us. Thank you - Grog App News
Good News: the App for Android Phones was released in September 2011. The iPhone App has been on sale since June 2010. Apart from one free App, it remains the most popular Knot-Tying App. 
Disks and DownloadsThe original Small-Image Version of this website is available either on a disk or via a download to run on your own computer with no internet connection. With fewer images, faster, advertisement-free, and convenient, it is an excellent gift or training tool for: Yachtsmen; Climbers; Fishermen; Scouts; Arborists; and Search & Rescue Workers.

Rope, and the sports associated with rope, can be dangerous. Wrongly handled, gripped, or tied, rope can kill, maim, or burn. You could be the victim! So, handle rope with care, inspect and test any knot you tie, and respect any rope subject to a heavy load, e.g., a rope controlling a large sail, a mooring rope when you are docking or berthing, and especially your own climbing rope. 
Never try to control a heavily loaded rope or fishing line with your bare hands. Control rope by taking two or more turns round a winch, cleat, or post, and use appropriate equipment for fishing line. It is unfortunate, but true, that the danger associated with heavily loaded rope or fishing line is commonly learned by experience – often very painful and occasionally lethal. Knots Weaken Rope
They do! Angles, kinks, and knots, stress the fibers unevenly and weaken rope. If this concerns you, you are using rope that is not strong enough. Some knots in some ropes have been claimed to only weaken a rope to about 80% of its rated strength; other knots can weaken some rope to as little as 40%. For safety, therefore, assume that even brand new rope will perform at no more than 50% of its rated breaking strength. And, if the rope is old, worn, or damaged by sunlight or chemicals - expect considerably less. For some useful test results visit Dave Richards' Knot Break Strength vs Rope Break Strength on the National Speleological Society Website and Tom Moyer's website for: High Strength Cord Testing, Euro Death-Knot Testing, and Rope Gear and Testing, Have Your Logo above this Website
People visiting Animated Knots by Grog from Scagway Salmon Fishing Charters would see their banner (left) above this website. This is a free service. If you are you a fire department, rescue group, company, yacht club, school, or scout troop interested in teaching knot tying, the students that you are teaching can see your logo above this website. Visit these pages to see Examples and Instructions. Disclaimer: Any activity that involves ropes is potentially hazardous. Lives may be at risk - possibly your own. Considerable attention and effort have been made to ensure that these descriptions are accurate. However, many critical factors cannot be controlled, including: the choice of materials; the age, size, and condition of ropes; and the accuracy with which these descriptions have been followed. No responsibility is accepted for incidents arising from the use of this material.
