Thanks OldGrunt.
Not counting the decorative toys made today The Monkey Fist has a long history from the days of sail. Frequently they had a musket ball or a smooth rock inside the knot to give them more authority. Laws restricting "knotted rope" were some of the first probations on weapons. Knives were a common tool, knotted rope was the equipment of thugs and press gangs.

Years ago I used to make them. I would weigh them down with big heavy nuts (fasteners, for those with dirty minds!). I still have a few around here. I even have one on my keychain, a mini one. I might start making a few again. A lot of people asked me to make them for them back when I used to work offshore as a commercial diver.

They are meant to be attached to a heaving line to throw towards a dock from a ship, or vice versa, from the dock to a ship. Then the heaving line would be attached to a heavier mooring line, to be pulled onto a ship from the dock, or vice versa. Sailors over time figured out a monkey's fist could make a good weapon.

So did certain MC clubs. You can sometimes see them hanging off the end of the handle bars of bikes and are easily disconnected with one hand and swung into windows and windshields

I thought that stupid law was already gone.
Last year because a mazon doesn't sell auto magic knives, I purchased 6 or 8 Chinese made clones off of, you guessed it, a mazons.
Their prohibition means only that US made automatic knives are not on their site.
Most were bitchmade clones.
No I don't care one bit about bitchmade due to their anti gun stance.
In the Navy, they still hold Boatswains mate Olympics where heaving lines are flung using monkey fist for distance.
