Thank you for the best and easiest explanation on tying the Diamond Knot!! Cheers!

Watched 5 or 6 different explanations of this knot, trying to repeat it, failing time after time, getting more and more frustrated - the last part where we tuck both ends to the center just didn't make sense! Until I finally found your video, your explanation and 2 colors of the cord make it so clear. Thank you!

This is the best knot demo I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen countless.

Great video! Your the first one I've come across that mentions it starts as a carrick bend!

[@blaaaaahhhh15]

Grog’s knots failed me on this one. Your tutorial is superb. Thanks!

I don’t give a flying sh!t what it’s called. It’s big, fat, and beautiful and you’re a freakin’ genius in TWO MINUTES FLAT ! 👊😎

[@ericbiebighauser693]

Great, easy to follow tutorial. Thank you!

Wow, thank you! I was lost in the parracord weeds until I found this, and it's just what I need. While I spend all my time on the water in a sprit-rigged leeboard dinghy, I have also greatly enjoyed your America's Cup commentary. Thanks for the Italian translations!

[@MozzySails]

You're very welcome!

The first part isn’t a Carrick Bend, that would have the ends on the same sides. In the olden days, this was a knife lanyard knot.

Nice Job Man! Love the way you go slow and show exactly what you’re doing. Great video...please do more.

[@jimholthaus9009]

Fantastic!

[@youtubeleavemealone]

Well done. Thank You

[@bryantreacher5793]

The diamond knot is a foot rope knot inside out and also a foot rope knot is a diamond knot inside out which would mean that the two ends and the handle would be on the other side of the knot .but there is a moor direct way to tie the diamond knot.

[@christopherlynch4347]

Thanks

[@bryantreacher5793]

The only problem is that this a foot rope knot which is the inverse of a diamond .

[@MozzySails]

Just the same knot upside down?
