After many years of not tying knots, I have decided to get things going again. So, I am going to ask for some help and put you folks to the test. If you would keep an eye out for a US source of the following:

Real/original Belfast or Dreadnought Cord as described here: Frayed Knot Arts - Belfast Cord (great web site)

Examples of cording: Examples of Cordage

Since this stuff was widely sold through military exchanges into the 60-70s, perhaps you might come across some as some in a military surplus store, if so please let me know.

I have recently purchased some various cording from Martin Combs ( Martin Combs Books and Cordage ) and it is great stuff, but not quite the same as the original.

Also a US source for real/original cotton Cod Line.

I have several sources of traditional tarred marline, so I am okay there.

Thanks-
Pete
