Hi All,

The following is the text of a post to rec.crafts.knots. Rather than
just cross-posting, I'm giving it a short introduction.

I have (one supposes) "rediscovered" a knot that I think will
prove most valuable. At any rate, I have not seen it in any of my
references. It is, I believe, the strongest bend that can be untied
bare-handed after the rope has been brought to the breaking point.

I've had a go, and failed to come up with anything that looked like the
photo on the web site. My first attempt actually produced a very strong
knot, but it was different to your's.


Do you have more detailed pictures of the early stages of the knot?



Regards


Donal
