Web sites for knots

[Kirk D.]

I found the following site that has some good pictures and explainations of a variety of knots

http://members.aol.com/goodheavens/knots.html

Anyone have any other sites that are good for various knots? It is interesting to see the "ratings" for the various knots (although I have no clue who establishes the ratings). For example, the following was on one of the pages from the link shown above:

"An Overhand Knot is only a 50% rated knot. That means that a 100 pound rated line with an Overhand Knot or Overhand Loop is then only a 50 pound line. There is some argument that as a loop in the end of the line it is somewhat stronger than 50%, but that is not the way to bet. If strength is a real concern, use a Figure 8 knot instead of an Overhand."
