    name that rope

    rang back and ordered another 20 metres this morning would of thought you could recognise a rope you owned peter but i suppose it was disguised:001_tongue: yes it was a lot easier to mark up for splicing and for the record i do not have any marlow rope
  24. bob

    name that rope

    well done Tommy you win the prize for been this weeks rope guru this is more commonly known as herkulees made by liros which is an all black prussick cord in 10mm that MBS is over 22kn so can be used as a blakes type split tail Honey brothers i believe have exclusivity on this brighter version I use it through a cinch as a work strop so the brighter honey bee will be better than the all black and underneath the rope was a new cinch all for a mate i,m afraid
