SGT KNOTS: A Direct-to-Consumer Brand Providing High-Quality Ropes and Cordage

SGT KNOTS is a direct-to-consumer brand that was founded by Mike Shelley, a former Marine Corps member, during his MBA program. The company started with the sales of custom paracord keychains and bracelets, and has since expanded to become a leading distributor of various types of rope and cordage.

Headquartered in Statesville, North Carolina, about an hour north of Charlotte, SGT KNOTS has grown from its humble beginnings to become a global depot, sourcing products from both international and USA-based manufacturers to offer the highest quality products at the best possible value.

The story behind SGT KNOTS began when Mike Shelley, after serving in the Marine Corps, started a simple website selling custom paracord keychains and bracelets. He was shocked to discover how difficult it was to find paracord online, and even more surprised when his products began selling out faster than he could create them. This highlighted the obvious need for accessible, high-quality paracord in the market.

As SGT KNOTS grew and expanded into new products, such as ropes, twines, and cord, Mike encountered a darker side of the rope supply industry, where suppliers masqueraded as manufacturers and used deceptive production techniques to cheapen products. Drawing on the Marine Corps' values of honesty and integrity, Mike knew that SGT KNOTS would need to bring these values to the market.

Through years of trial and error, Mike built close relationships with reliable, top-quality American and international manufacturers that couldn't get into big-box retailers, but were sought after by DIYers, boat owners, farmers and ranchers, and businesses. An online marketplace became the obvious solution to connect these manufacturers with the consumers who needed their products.

Today, SGT KNOTS is the leading webstore for all things paracord, rope, twine, and more. By utilizing their ever-growing network of honest manufacturers, SGT KNOTS can source any order, from small personal use supplies to custom bulk savings packages.

One of SGT KNOTS' flagship products is their Double Braided Nylon Anchor Line, which is an exceptionally durable and resistant anchor rope. Featuring a double-braided construction for excellent abrasion resistance, the anchor line has a breaking strength of 3,350 pounds and a working load limit of 500 pounds. It also includes a sewn-in stainless steel thimble for fast and secure fastening.

Like the Marine Corps, SGT KNOTS is committed to being the best of the best, living by the motto "Semper Fidelis - Always Faithful." This loyalty to their customers is what makes them who they are and the reason for their continued growth and popularity in the market.
