SGT KNOTS Twisted Manila Rope for Indoor and Outdoor Use | Multipurpose Rope for Crafts, DIY, Home Decor, Climbing

The story behind SGT KNOTS begins with Mike Shelley, a former Marine Corps member. After his service, Mike started a simple website selling custom paracord keychains and bracelets. At the time, paracord was the military's best-kept secret. Mike was shocked to discover how difficult it was to find paracord online, but even more surprised when his products began flying off the shelves faster than he could create them. The need for accessible, high-quality paracord was obviously out there, so Mike "SGT KNOTS" Shelley set out to make it happen.

As SGT KNOTS grew and branched out to new products - ropes, twines, and cord - Mike saw a darker side of the rope supply industry. Suppliers masquerading as manufacturers and manufacturers using deceptive production techniques to cheapen products. The Marine Corps holds honesty and integrity in high regard, so Mike knew SGT KNOTS would need to bring these values to the market.

Through years of trial and error, Mike built close relationships with reliable, top-quality American and international manufacturers that couldn't get into big-box retailers, but that plenty of DIYers, boat owners, farmers and ranchers, and businesses wanted. An online marketplace was the obvious solution.

From humble beginnings, SGT KNOTS has grown into a global depot with a steady stream of products shipping from around the world. SGT KNOTS utilizes both international and USA-based factories to manufacture the highest quality products available and bring them to market at the best possible value.

SGT KNOTS is now the leading webstore for all things paracord, rope, twine, and more! Through their ever-growing network of honest manufacturers, SGT KNOTS can source any order, from small personal use supplies to custom bulk savings packages.

Manila is a type of fiber obtained from the abacá plant (a relative of bananas) and is the strongest of the natural fibers. SGT KNOTS cuts out the middle man by importing shipping containers full of manila rope directly from suppliers in the Philippines, resulting in the best possible quality at the lowest cost.

Manila rope has several pros, including aesthetic appeal, snap-resistance, natural properties, low cost, moisture absorption, and excellent grip. However, it also has some cons, such as not being UV or water-resistant, and having an unpleasant odor from the organic mineral oil coating that dissipates over time.

Common uses for manila rope include pulling, decoration, landscaping, rigging, and exercise. SGT KNOTS offers various twisted rope options, including manila, jute, cotton, ProManila/UnManila, and sisal, in a wide range of diameters and lengths to suit various needs.

SGT KNOTS is a veteran-owned and operated company, committed to providing high-quality products and passing down bulk savings to their customers. They continue to live by the Marine Corps motto, "Semper Fidelis" (Always Faithful), and promise to maintain the strength and consistency of their products.
