Re: Recommend a book on splicing?

A book that I have and found useful is "The Handbook of Knots (expanded edition) by Des Pawson"

For me, then many techniques are now shown on YouTube in a simpler and more understandable way, so I would choose to see something there.

And then I left it in the sources and started reading, it was very fascinating and now it is my faithful companion. But now there is some history associated with it and it is already a part of the equipment that you need just for yourself. In practice I already know almost everything by heart.
I've Jan-Willem Polman, Splicing modern ropes, and also Barbara Merry, The splicing handbook.
