Knot Scores
All the knots in this app are awarded a five-part knot score, with their strength, security, ease of tying, ease of untying, and usefulness given a grade from 1–5.
The Knot Bible app is based on The Knot Bible, a book by Nic Compton. Nic's book is the complete and definitive bible of knots for seafarers, featuring over 200 knots.
