Thanks! I was familiar with it. Nasty thing.

I’m always looking for knots that will hold reliably and untie easily (boating).

Thanks! I was familiar with it. Nasty thing.

I have shown this knot to hundreds of people, yes rock climbers have an interest but no use in this knot.

Only one, a coworker had a solid guess on the name.
He had been a commercial fisherman from Main and a sailor; not a Boyscout or climber.

And not in the Bluejackets’s Manual that my Navy father had in the house.
