The Ashley Book of Knots (1944)
oh. I said "ABOK" when I meant "Grog". It looks great but it's outdated.

How can a knot be outdated? Seems odd in a thread about 80 year old book.

Clearly we have higher performing knots which leverage modern material benefits for less slippage, total movements/tying time and complexity etc.!

The application and material of ropes has changed over time, specifically ABOK was published just before the advent of Nylon ropes.
