Are you referring to the bowline? Any Boatswain’s Mate knows how good a knot it is.
the bowline?
I’m very familiar with the bowline.
Until that evil car ran me and my bicycle over a few years back, I could tie one around my waist while hanging with the other hand.
I can still do the one-handed part but not the hanging part.
Not a bowline, see #6.
Nothing beats an Arkansas Knife Knot.
