Non Slip Adjustable Eye Knots.

[tsik_lestat]

Hi Alan

Having tied this structure before, i think of it as the simplest one of helical adjustable eyeknots (reply#14).

And here comes the good part....

If you unbend Spart's helical curvature (straighten the helical coil), you will transform it into Xarax's constrictor noose (or buntline extinguisher  ) and vice versa.

BUT we must ask :: what is the point of such a knot,
an "adjustable" eye knot?!  Unlike with some friction-gripping
*fixed* eye, where the eye size in indefinitely large,
these knots are tied with a maximum that can only
be diminished, tightened down --unless a long length
is left for enlarging.  And tightening under load might
be problematic re stability/structure or just plain
limited by force & friction.

In my experience it is harder to make a very strong friction-gripping knot where the loop is adjustable by moving the gripping part along the standing part than it is to make a knot where the loop is adjustable via the working part.

Yes, tightening under load might be problematic, and untying, too.

One application of adjustable loops is to secure loads, but I think Trucker's hitch variations are more suitable for that in many cases.

           Hi All,  I have two loops here, can handed heavy load and easy to untie.
                      Hope  you like it.  谢谢 alanleeknots.

Do you think there is some advantage in the more complicated version 2 over version 1?

The insertion of the WE through this configuration, leads to a non slip, figure 9 based adjustable eyeknot, as shown in the next two images.

Funnily it looks literally like figure 8 in the first image and reminds of Hunter's Bend in the third one. I learned to tie it my eyes closed.

Interesting this figure 9 geometry can transform to a loop, kind of a Non TIB false Butterfly knot ,
see the photo below,  I think there is  a interlock overhand knot bend or loop, is somewhere in Ashley knot book.

I think so too, version 2 is more stable and compact. 谢谢 alanleeknots.

Thank you Alan, a very nice pedestrian loop almost a lanyard knot.

#1452, and Ashley has it as a lanyard knot,
#782 IIRC (or nearby).

Well, I think version 1 is more compact and the additional twist in version 2 is not needed.
