Another excellent offering. Clear presentation and explanation. Your library of knot videos is a terrific tool for folks with a rope centric focus.

[@KnottingKnots]

Thank you so much Gary, there will be a couple of unusual knot/techniques coming out shortly too.

[@billfawcett3691]

It's just like tying a clove hitch, but some silly sod put a pipe in the way. Very handy to learn as I have lots of tomato plants to "cane up" so I'll give this a try. Thanks.

[@KnottingKnots]

Just out of curiosity, would the knot need to be loosened on a regular basis as the plant grows?

[@billfawcett3691]

@@KnottingKnots The cane is used to make s frame to support the plants as they grow. As they grow the plant is tied to the frame. Yep, it takes up time but I am retired so have time on my hands.

[@KnottingKnots]

@@billfawcett3691 Ah yes, I see. Just the other day I was exchanging comments someone else about tying up their toms and they needed a knot that could be adjusted as the plant grew.

[@bobrub]

Very well presented Johnny, I'll have to get this one down for later use.

[@KnottingKnots]

If you want to fasten a torch to a pole, this works well for that too.

[@johnstanton8499]

Excellent explanation Thanks Does it help to tie a few wraps either side with the free ends and then either clove hitches or constrictor knots to make it more secure.

Another well presented instructional video. Your efforts are truly appreciated. Greetings from the coast of Maine.

[@KnottingKnots]

Hello Maine, glad that you liked it. 😉 😉 😉

[@MichaelR58]

Good instructions , thanks for sharing , God bless !

[@KnottingKnots]

Once again, good of you to drop me a comment. This knot also allows you to attach a torch to a pole, how often have you wanted to do that??

[@canoetipper019]

Nice folding knife...the Royal Canadian Navy used to issue those...my uncle gave one to my brother and I just before he got out. I wish I could find it now. That was about 50 years ago now. ;-) Cheers from New Brunswick, Canada...eh.

[@KnottingKnots]

I do love that knife, it is a Myerchin, got lovely white scales for some Scrimshaw at a later date. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@ferulebezel]

Are you referring to the bosun's knife, the one with a fold out marlinspike? All I can say is "yeah that's nice.".

[@canoetipper019]

@@ferulebezel yes...also a knife blade and what I used as a can opener...not sure if that's what it was (lol) and aluminum scales...

[@finnmacky7106]

Definitely a very useful knot to know!

[@KnottingKnots]

Glad you think so! It can also be tied multiple times without having to cut the string each time.

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

Oh nice. I'll get a lot of use out of this one. Thanks, Johnny. 👍🙂

[@KnottingKnots]

Even a simple task like holding a torch to say a tent pole, it is a good one to know.

[@hectorlucia8081]

Gracias por compartir sus conocimientos amigo Johnny como siempre muy prácticos sus nudos. Saludos desde Amecameca México.

[@KnottingKnots]

Es como siempre, bueno saber de ti Héctor

[@TheHuntForSupper]

When making either a bed or other structure in the woods, would a transom knot suffice versus a square knot?

[@jonimaricruz1692]

Very handy knot to know.

[@KnottingKnots]

Yep, can also be used to fasten a torch to a pole, how often do you wish you could have done that?

[@jonimaricruz1692]

@@KnottingKnots Yes, indeed, btw, isn’t this something like a cinch knot(?) or binding knot(?) (something like that)? Sort of a clove hitch with the working end passed under the crossing point in an overhand knot? Am I making any sense? Anyway, thank you for your channel and for all the useful knots, I’ve been fascinated by knot tying since I was in the Girl Scouts and I also played around with macrame when that was popular. Have a great day.

[@KnottingKnots]

@@jonimaricruz1692 It is not too dissimilar to the Constrictor Knot..............

[@jonimaricruz1692]

@@KnottingKnots That’s the one! Thanks!

[@karoshi2]

I'm doing something wrong. Mine ends up being a shabby clove hitch. 🤔 Falls apart immediately, and somehow I end up lacking a crossover. Which explains the instability, but not where I did the mistake. Tying a fork to the chair is maybe not the most fulfilling practise anyways.

[@paulwyleciol3459]

00:35 that's no brass, Sir, it's supposed to be copper?

[@KnottingKnots]

You may well be right, but it is about the knot? 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@JohnnyTaxonomy]

What is the name of this knot??

[@KnottingKnots]

?

[@undefinednull5749]

Rhis:knot is like the Constrictor knot,

[@KnottingKnots]

yes, they are very similar. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@bryantreacher5793]

You say as,I might add do others including Ashley in your disruption that this is similar to the constrictor knot ,well that is not so as this is in fact a double overhand or strangle knot,if you tie it around two removable objects you will see that is so.

[@spoede64]

The loops may take another way, but the knot itself on top of the pipe works exactly like the constrictor. So for me its a constrictor with spreaded legs.

[@paulwatterson5992]

Looks like the constrictor knot to me.

[@KnottingKnots]

They are not dissimilar in the way that they are tied.

[@bobbysilver272]

Why do you often say "one in number..." Seems an odd thing to say.

[@KnottingKnots]

It was common terminology when I was in the RN.
