I'm thinking if you were to own ONE knot book (kinda hard to do), this one is a good one to consider. The spiral binding is a real bonus. Every time this book is used, the appreciation for a spiral binding cannot be suppressed. Oft times, there's more than one way to tie a knot. The Alpine Butterfly is one, and this book has a straight-forward and simple way to tie one. Besides knots, there's a primer on rope, knots, safety as an introduction, and at the end, a tutorial on how to keep the ends of a rope from fraying.That's invaluable. As mentioned earlier, if you just want one book on knots, this is one to seriously consider. Heck, just buy it. Can't go wrong. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Used as a wedding gift this book is very handy *by W***N on August 29, 2019* For an outdoors person this is a handy guide to knots, something we use almost every day of our lives, but usually give little thought to. I gave it as a wedding gift. Why a wedding gift?It has a page about the wedding knot, or lover's knot as it is sometimes called. The advice I gave to the young couple was that tying the knot is a personal experience and just as their are many kinds of knots that serve the needs of ther person who is using the knot; their marriage may or may not be orthodox and finding the right kind of relationship to suit their needs is the key to staying married.No matter what kind of knot you may need, it's in this book with good instructions. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good - why not make it great? *by H***T on December 20, 2016* This could be a great book, though it's still worth buying and reading. There is a lot of info about knots and it starts out with a lot of terminology or nomenclature which is quite helpful. However, it seems like the editor must have quit or been dismissed after doing half the work. There are all kinds of weird little mistakes that crop up, after such a good start, and also sentences that are really hard to follow. Also, the illustrations could really use a lot of work. I guess photos save time (is that why they use them?) but they are quite small and sometimes it's hard to see important details. A series of line drawings would be a lot clearer. The book really suffers from the reader having to puzzle, while looking at the photos, about sequences and steps, as sometimes what's shown in the picture isn't what's being talked about.A second edition, fully edited, would be a great idea. In the process, frankly, in my opinion, there are a lot of knots in there that could be eliminated, as their "con"s are listed as "insecure" or "unstable" or prone to failure, when there are other knots no more difficult to tie that don't have those problems. Or, there are ones that are difficult to tie but don't have any evident advantages over ones that are more straightforward. After all, it's supposed to be a "field guide" not an encyclopedia, so who wants, while "in the field", to have to leaf through a bunch of bad knots? ## Frequently Bought Together - The Field Guide to Knots: How to Identify, Tie, and Untie Over 80 Essential Knots for Outdoor Pursuits - Knot Tying Kit | Pro-Knot Best Rope Knot Cards, two practice cords and a carabiner - The Useful Knots Book: How to Tie the 25+ Most Practical Rope Knots (Escape, Evasion, and Survival) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/19505810-the-field-guide-to-knots-how-to-identify-tie-untie](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/19505810-the-field-guide-to-knots-how-to-identify-tie-untie) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
