The blade of your utility knife has “score” marks that allow you to “break off” and expose a new blade tip. When using the knife you should retract the blade in a way that the first score mark is still hidden inside the tool handle - otherwise the blade could snap off during use… cheers
The sharp knife technique works better if you stretch the rope between your legs. When you MELT (NOT BURN) the ends, it would be preferable that they do NOT actually catch on fire since charred nylon isn't strong anymore, and the 'weld' can come apart. Alors, effondre est mieux de bruler.
I think this trick by Richard Delaney is priceless: superglue! Look here: th-cam.com/video/QM8CyWDHa2M/w-d-xo.html
Nice. Heating the knife and cutting with it heated makes a very clean cut and also binds the cut end.
True, just doesn't give it as much of a bind, and this you can do in the field.
