:For dogs
This rope leash was made from a length of 16mm hemp, and features a Manrope knot at the base of the hand-hold loop. A tapered spliced eye loop forms the slip part of the collar; this is decorated with continuous crown hitching, finished with a Turk's head and a coxcombe service around the eye.
Below are images of some of our other rope leashes, including a double dog lead, which we fondly refer to as the Orthrus Lead - named after the mythological two headed dog!
