| History of the Monkey's Fist Knot: Monkey Fists are nothing new -- as a matter of fact they've been around for hundreds of years! A monkey's fist or monkey paw is a type of knot, so named because it looks somewhat like a small bunched fist/paw. Monkey's fists were commonly used as melee weapons by sailors embroiled in street and tavern fights during the 1800s and the use of the monkey's fist as a slungshot became common in the street gang subcultures of the 1800s. Similarly, when learning or practicing in the use of a Chinese meteor hammer, each end of the practice weapon is often tied off with a monkey's fist knot. |
