Something is wrong with >List of loop knots TNX - Dfred 20:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC) Reply I'm pretty new to Wikipedia, so if someone more experienced could suggest (or implement :) a reasonable citation method to use here I'd appreciate it. Specifically it comes from Chapter 10, "Studies on the Behaviour of Knots" written by Charles Warner. Most of the hard information in the Knot Strength section I recently added comes from The History and Science of Knots for which I added a ref at the bottom of the article. Dfred 18:55, 6 September 2006 (UTC) Reply I am in the process of writing a new section tentatively entitled "Knot Properties" which will encompass how knots behave after they're tied - it will include a discussion of security, capsizing, jamming, releasing, etc. Reply Ĭan someone explain in the article what jamming and non-jamming mean? As in the Alpine butterfly knot is a non-jamming loop on the bight. Preceding undated comment added 18:15, 12 October 2009 (UTC). If anyone else with an eye for dangling modifiers and redundancies would like to join, polishing this beautiful article should be a party! Knotfully yours, Knotaholic (October 12, 2009). (This request is about language, not content.) Starting on several rounds of line edits to bring up the syntax to professional standards. ![]() ![]() But I'd love to be able to name the originator of this phrase/attribute it correctly. Hi, can someone enlighten me as to the origin of the phrase "an intentional complication in cordage", as a definition of what a knot is? Was this written by a Wikipedia editor, or this page especially? Or was it taken from some pre-existing work about knots? The phrase is all over the internet, in a way that suggests everyone has just copied the Wikipedia page.

The Constrictor Knot is normally tied in twine or other small diameter line.| b1 = | b2 = | b3 = | b4 = | b5 = | b6 = Īssessing the article against each criterion. Rope Size: The pictures here show the rope tied in large diameter rope. When this is necessary, the binding strand should be cut over the other constrictor strands, using them to protect your rope. Release: The Constrictor Knot can be very hard to undo – cutting the knot can be the only option. However, when the twine or rope has to be first passed around an object, then the Threading the End Method has to be used.ĭisadvantages: The Constrictor Knot fails when tied against a flat surface – it requires a curved surface for the binding turn to grip the Half Hitch. Using the Twisting Method: The Twisting Method is quick and convenient and can be used even for short lengths, e.g., when using a piece of twine to secure a fraying rope’s end. It securely ties the neck of a sack or bag it has been used as a temporary hose clamp and it can be used to hold items together for gluing.Īlternatives: In addition to the Twisting Method shown here, the Constrictor Knot can be tied by the Folding Method, and by Threading the End when tying this knot round a rail or bar. It is an excellent quick temporary whipping for a fraying rope’s end and can be used to keep a rope’s end together while it is being whipped. Uses: The Constrictor Knot ( ABOK # 1188, p 216.) deserves to be much more widely known and used.
