Try this one with your steel cable LOL.

My grandpa was in the British Merchant Marine by age 12 and jumped ship in Baltimore when he was 14. I don't believe he was ever naturalized. He knew every knot ever made, I think. He could whip out a monkey fist in a minute. They put a lead ball in them when they were throwing a line ship-to-ship. He claimed they were good luck. I use 'em as fobs on my Benchmade.
