Source for 1" sisal rope?

[deker]

So, I'm starting to take the prep for my JS more seriously, which means a lot of rope cutting, 2x4 chopping, arm shaving, and knife bending. I've got all of these under control except for the rope cutting. I can only find 3/4" sisal rope locally. Where do I find 1" rope so I can practice and test?

Also, are sisal rope and manila rope the same thing?

It can be manilla or sisal.

Well that makes it easier. I thought it was sisal only for some reason.

Thanks Karl,

Here's the quote from the performance test requirements,

"- A sufficient length of one (1) inch minimum diameter sisal or manila rope."

I heard a rumor that an Ace hardware near my office has 1" rope. If that rumor was a lie I will give them a call today.
