A monkey’s fist or monkey paw is a type of knot, so named because it looks somewhat like a small bunched fist/paw. It also looks somewhat like a volleyball or an older style football. It is tied at the end of a rope to serve as a weight, making it easier to throw, and also as an ornamental knot. This type of weighted rope can be used as an improvised weapon, called a slungshot  by sailors.

Monkey’s fists were also commonly used as melee weapons by sailors embroiled in street and tavern fights during the 1800s and the use of the monkey’s fist as a slungshot  became common in the street gang subcultures of the 1800s. Similarly, when learning or practicing in the use of a Chinese meteor hammer, each end of the practice weapon is often tied off with a monkey’s fist knot.
