Tie Knots - You are an expert at tying knots including knots to restrain people, lash items or to climb.

Hairs and Fibers - A piece of hair or a few strands of fiber, when compared with known specimens, may prove valuable in solving a case. For example, a fiber found on a window at the scene of a burglary may be associated with a suspect's jacket, or a hair found on a murder victim my help convict the killer but only if he can be found. An examination of hair may reveal whether it is of human or animal origin. If of human origin, it can be compared with hairs from a particular person's head or body.
