For swings, in my opinion, the Swing Hitch or the Sailor’s Hitch would be more suitable.

Thx 🤝

🧐 Well… I do have a short on the Cross Knot (📺 th-cam.com/users/shortsNSoaA8AJfkE ), but it looks a bit different. In general, there are so many knots in the world, and quite often they look incredibly similar, with only a tiny detail setting them apart. Plus, the same knot can go by several names. It’s like trying to remember all the characters in a soap opera! 😉

The Hunter Loop is easier to untie after being under load than a tightened bowline.

@@knotmaker60I’m gonna try it!

Good luck!🪢🤝

@@knotmaker60 thanks

@Knot Maker: You're welcome )))

Thank you for your comment! You are right; this loop is actually called the Hunter Loop. I made a mistake.

The Monkey Chain knot is also known to me by the following names: chain sinnet, chain sennit, chain shortening, chain stitch, chain braid, caterpillar sinnet, crochet stitch, daisy chain, monkey braid, single trumpet cord, and single bugle cord. It probably also goes by the name you mentioned in your comment.

This knot has many names. Thank you for your comment and for sharing real examples of the Monkey Chain.

I used this knot to join two ropes while cutting the tops of tall trees (about 15 meters high, like eucalyptus and birch) in my garden. It didn’t let me down.

¿Qué ocurre? 🧐

@@knotmaker60 Nada, que se me da mal lo de hacer nudos, soy torpe.

Hacer nudos es fácil. Sólo necesitas experiencia en este asunto, como en cualquier otro.

This knot is also useful because it helps develop memory and hand dexterity. 🙂🤝

At first glance, it might seem like that. But with the orange rope, the working end isn’t pinned down by the standing end, unlike with the green rope. I think the answer to your question might be closer to the Reever Knot ( th-cam.com/video/g8S1TSUOd9I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7Yb_PmyBUUXtQ-dk ).🫡

Yes, that's what it's called.

This isn't two ring hitches. It's not even close to a ring hitch. This is just two cow hitches tied together.

Thank you for your comment! Actually, the knot you’re referring to has several names, including Cow Hitch, Girth Hitch, Lark’s Head, Ring Hitch, and more, as noted in the Ashley Book of Knots #1673 (and #5, #56, #59, #244, #310, #1184, #1694, #1698, #1700, #1802, #2163, #2164, #2168, #2175, #3317). These terms describe the same knot formation, even if they are tied slightly differently depending on the context (like a lanyard, a continuous strap, or a spliced eye). I hope this clarifies any confusion, and I’m always open to more discussion about knots!

Yes, that's true )))

Interesting opinion… The video shows one of the many ways to tie one of the forms of a Blood Knot. And they’re all valid. I have a short showing another way to tie a different form of this knot; you can check it out.

​@@knotmaker60 OK, I saw your shorts. Very good shorts, very clear, I will follow you. The blood knot is the one you call "snake knot". All three of these knots: "your" blood knot, "your" snake knot, and the common blood knot are topologically equivalent. But "your" snake knot has the same final form (= same performance) of the common blood knot - although I must add that I have never seen anyone get the blood knot that way: the blood knot is a very common knot in fishing, I have not been an angler for many decades but I think it would be impossible to tie the knot that way with a fishing line. In addition, the standard way to make the blood knot is a very simple way.

🙏Thank you for your comments and viewing my shorts. The world is big and many knots have been invented, but not all of them have found their place in ABoK. 🤝

Thank you for your comment. Yes, you are absolutely right, but in my case it is already a Triple Dragon loop, note that there are three schlags. Check it out, there are three schlags (round turns) there.🤝

Well

What's wrong with the knot? This is one of the forms of tying the Blood Knot that takes place. Maybe you like this one (link) better ➡️ th-cam.com/video/A9oO3RxaXik/w-d-xo.html

Wierd way and wierd result. 😮

You got me interested. Go ahead and show us on your channel what the right way and the right result should look like, please. 🙂

For example, to avoid cutting a too-long a Girdline (Gantline) used during loading or unloading, you can significantly shorten it by tying the Sheepshank on it.

Interesting this is much more elaborate than the sheepshank I know. 😊

@@knotmaker60 ah right I see fair enough

It’s the same knot, just beefed up a bit to handle more rope. There are a few types of Sheepshanks, but the general idea is the same.

🙏🤝

🙏🤝

🙏Much appreciated!

This is a misleading impression. The peasant’s knot doesn’t tighten too much and is quite easy to untie after the load is removed. You just need to move and slide down the red loop that encircles the two working (short) ends.

Hello! I’m glad that this knot can be useful in your job for safety purposes.You're welcome!

Hello! Thank you for your suggestion. I will definitely consider it for the future. For now, I hope you find the current content helpful. Best regards.

🙏🌹

The red rope is synthetic (nylon) and is a safety strap; it is simply rigid. The blue rope is polyester, moderately stiff, for everyday use. I used them together to provide a clear example.

Hello! Your imagination is absolutely wonderful. This is one of the eleven basic knots of traditional Chinese knotting, a craft which began in the Tang and Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD) in China. The Chinese and Japanese names for this knot are based on the shape of the ideogram for the number ten, which is in the shape of a cross that appears on one face (and a square on the other face). The Ashley Book of Knots, first published in 1944, says: "A decorative Chinese Loop. This is commonly employed as a Lanyard Knot. It is handsome and secure." In recent years, it has become popular with members of the Scout and Guide movements for tying their neckerchieves instead of using a woggle.

Usage of the Academic Knot. In maritime affairs - for temporarily binding together the ends of two ropes under strong tension. In fishing - for temporarily binding together the ends of two fishing lines. In surgery - for closing an incision and temporarily binding together the ends of suture material. But you can also use it as a decorative knot, of course.

I didn't find it in Ashley's Book of Knots either. This is how the knot is called in Leonid Scriabin’s book “Sea Knots” (picture 28). This is a further development of the Surgeon’s Knot.

Screensaver from the Hilaidar party of the 12th century Grigorovich. On the left - Academic knot, on the right - a pair of Reef (straight) knots. I can send you a link to the photo on Wikipedia by email.

This knot is used in the same way as the Reef Knot. When there is a large load on the cable, it does not tighten as much as the Reef Knot, and it is easier to untie it in the usual way.

This knot is used in maritime practice, in sports tourism and in everyday life.

Looks like a f*ed up surgeon's knot...

@@abyssaldiver4063Yes, this is a further development of the Surgeon’s Knot.

I don't know why that knot would need to be improved, but I guess It depends on the use case at hand. Thank you for sharing knowledge.

You are welcome!

Thank you very much! I'm glad that everything is clear to you)))🙏
