Monkey Fist Doorstop

The monkey’s fist knot is so named because it looks somewhat like a small bunched fist. The monkey’s fist knot is used as a weight on a heaving line. Allowing mooring lines to be hurled between ship and dock. This has now proved a great knot for home products such as a door stop.

Using 4 metres of  manila and created by  master crafts people you now have the opportunity to purchase the Master Ropemakers Monkey’s fist door stop for your home.

These rope products are made in the ropery at Chatham Dockyard that dates back almost 400 years – and still uses some of the machinery from the Victorian era!
