How to tie the snake knot

In this tutorial I show you how to tie a snake knot. The knot has many uses in rope crafts, from making bracelets, lanyards, to even making dog leashes and zipper pulls.
It is a very common knot in the paracord crafts, so I highly recommend learning it.

Man the flip method is genius, i learned this knot faster doing your method then watching so many others showing the same. Thanks!!!

[@good_youtube_handle]

BEST version of the snake knot! even, consistent, threaded knots. 👍👍

Thanks! Even a noob at rope like me could do this!

[@damedesmontagnes]

Thank you. This explanation and demonstration is so much easier to understand than some other tutorials.

[@grimtt]

Think i finally got this one… your instructions are simple and tight!👍

[@JDStone20]

Awesome! Quick and simple! I had a slighy head injury that affected my.memory, so if I go more than two or three days without tying a knot, I need to watch how to do it again. All the knots I learned before the injury I still know, it is just when I learn a new one. Thank you, take care!

[@johnwoodcock6468]

Me too mate. Exactly what happened to me. Its a bugger. What about reading books.

[@JDStone20]

@@johnwoodcock6468 Books, movies, same thing happens. Sometimes it will feel familiar, but that is about it.

[@johnwoodcock6468]

@@JDStone20 yep.same stuff with me mate. Forget the movie or the series and can go back and watch it again. You have to look at the positive..those really good tv things we can triple enjoy them. Listen. I was thinking. When you get the burr up that quick your basically microbevelling.you are sharpening it right on the edge and in the end you have to obviously thin it all back out again.... but its a very good way of sharpening when u think about the time you input into it... and then just thin them out eventually. Because it cuts still quite well even when the angle is getting high if you cross the scratch patterns and light passes and do it right .

[@johnwoodcock6468]

I can get such a good edge off of the standard spyderco stones. I love them. I've never used these cbn stones. I really love the spiderco profile stones. I can't get a set.i managed to get a medium but really need a fine one. But they are like hens teeth. So rare

[@johnwoodcock6468]

Yes .sorry.i went to look at your KZbin channel and saw your into sharpening. Just a good coincidence. Thanks

[@ksimpson2609]

best video i have seen yet of this pattern awesome job bruv

[@freman007]

I also wanted to add my thanks. This video helped me add a short lanyard of gutted paracord to my Cold Steel Eland.

[@shahbaz2455]

I do use these knot a lot. It's always the hell to start. Thanks for this clear tutorial, it should help a lot.

[@shahbaz2455]

+Shahbaz 24 I confirmed yu, Paracord... It did help a lot. Lots of thanks !!!! ;-))

[@alwarberigai5955]

Instead of how he does it, repeat the knot he did first one below the other. It’s far easier

[@catherinea8598]

Thank you! Very easy to follow 😄

[@dgibson580]

A good knot for making a key fob.Thank you.

[@sbjennings99]

Awesome informational educational video experience

[@ZenEugene]

Thanks a lot! I looked through five races until I figured out how to make a knot!

[@ImmaHogg]

I know this vid is 4 years old, and I have used this as a guide before (great vid!), but I notice that this way of tying the snake knot differs from what most others do, in that this one ties and connects each subsequent knot together, whereas the traditional way is basically to tie separate knots, one knot tied tightly against the other. Does anyone with more experience with this know if there is an advantage of one version over the other?

[@j.r.zepeda3171]

what youre thinking of is a wall knot, commonly confused with the snake knot (thats called 'stacked wall knots'). paracord guild actually has a separate video specifically for wall knots

[@bearshield7138]

Thank you I can see a lot of uses for this

[@robertbrunston5406]

I've been doing the snake knot all wrong! Is this how all snake knots are always done? I watched a video on here and they did the same knot, but never flipped it or tied it into the last knot. Wow! Thanks!

[@Leicashooter1]

Well done; easy to follow and presented at a good pace.

I believe the ratio is about 5:1

Hi Mark, I am such a visual learner...a Tut would be awesome... Thanks for your help...

Great video 👍excellent instructions!!! Stay hydrated my friend. When the finger tips become wrinkled or more elastic (stretchy) your body needs fluids 👍 Would you mind doing some vids with some shackles for buckles?

[@fifiya13]

Thank you 😊

[@sturusk3620]

Great video, this is my favourite method of tying snake knots as it makes a nice, more flexible bracelet. Thank you very much.

[@TheFishingNet]

Nice one, keep it up.

[@ImmaHogg]

I just used this video and this version of a snake knot to make a small knife lanyard. There is another fellow who has a video on the snake knot where the basic knot is the same, but each knot section is actually a seperate knot that is tied then sinched up against the previous knot. When completed, it looks very much the same, but your version makes for a tighter, more smooth appearance. Is the other version actually called something else? He was also referring to it as a "Chris Reeve" knot?

[@TyBardy]

this method is not like most, but produces the best looking snake knot I've ever seen

Can I make a leash with this style or collar

[@poops0up]

Which blue color of paracord is this? Lol I'm new and theres so many dif blues

[@r-typegearpolska3311]

its possible to buy somewhere few meters of this knot?

[@250rapid]

An 18 inches long piece of paracord will make a 6 knots lanyard with a full length of approx 3 inches. Long enough to pull a fixed or folded knife or multi-tool out of the sheath. Just to give an idea of how much paracord you will need to make different length "snake knot" lanyard.

[@maxclark-palmer7640]

i try'd for ages to figure it out eventually i got there :-) thanks!

[@mroutside6044]

If you finish at 1:34 it get a good loop knot, thats quickly adjustable
