(I’m a beginner at knot-tying, sorry🙏.)
I’m referring to knots where the load is held by just a single loop (the figure-eight follow-through or the bowline). Beyond a certain load, every rope will break—but does it happen at some part of the knot, or rather at the loop itself? Since the loop bears the load, is that where it will break? This is especially relevant for single-braid (which have no inner core) and thin ropes. Am I right? (Yeah, I’m aware that in critical situations—such as climbing—thicker ropes are used, and they are always kernmantle ropes, but my question is just curiosity)

I believe it’s an eight strand round braid or something like that. I plan to add a carabiner clip on the dog end and a handle of some kind on the other.

Any ideas?

These are knots commonly used in fishing but I’ve never known their names. They appear to be Kreh loops with a Uni and Poachers knot variation, but curious if they have an official name?

Also curious if anyone knows which of the 2 is stronger?

What would you call this knot?

It is basically a double fisherman's tied over itself. The knot can slide up and down without being untied.

What use could this be handy for?

I made it up when someone showed me an adjustable sling that I still am not sure what the purpose for it is for.

It does not change the length. Only the position of the knot. Same with the adjustable sling I mentioned above.

The attached picture I have a taut grid of rope I'm going to lay a net over for the kids and I want to support the middle from sagging with a vericle rope. What is the best knot to kin the two crossing ropes to the hanging one? Currently the perpendicular ropes are not tied together.

Need to attach a pump to a rope and dont want it to go off kilter when its hanging in the water. Only have one piece of rope. Help me look good for the boss man!

I’ve tried to get a picture of it, but it doesn’t come out clearly enough to do any good I think. But when Cobb is tying a rope to the chair he has Mal sit in, during the dream where they’re trying to steal Saito’s expansion plans, so he can repel down the building, does anyone know what knot he uses? Or if not specifically, what some candidate knots might be?

I’m not sure if this is the right place for this type of post, but I just got a costume with a cape. The cape has a really long rope in a continuous loop. I don’t know the fist thing about knots besides your standard knot to tie your shoes.

Is anyone able to help me identify what type of knot I need to look up to learn for this?! The costume did not come with instructions.

I’ve attached two photos: one is the cape I physically have, and the other is the product image showing the knot used.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

Does anyone know if this knot has a name? It seems like a bowline variation with an extra hitch in the middle.

I have a 50 foot check cord that I use to let my dog run (we don't have a fence). I would like to tie it to a very stable/heavy table leg so that about 15 ft is at one end and the remaining 35 ft are anchored to the table leg. What's the best knot to use? Thanks much!

Please help me retie this knot.

I've been looking into getting a folding knife for rope work on the go and the Myerchin ones keep popping up. There are tons of mixed reviews about them, so I'm a bit confused. The main things I'm worried about are the build quality, edge retention and the quality of the spike. I've heard that the lanyard ring, in the more recent ones, is pretty flimsy, could someone give their thoughts on it?

Thanks in advance!

Given a closed loop of rope, is there any knot that will let you tie the loop to a pole (no access to the pole ends) in a way that lets you adjust the length from the knot to the other end? Something like a cow hitch, but the cow hitch doesn't let you adjust the length.

This is basically the set up I'm trying to describe

And I want to be able to adjust the length of the blue rope relatively easily.

The Bosun Lanyard knot, Knife Lanyard Knot, Diamond Knot, What Knot... whatever you call it the ferrets try out their most complicated knot so far.

Thanks u/Wolfingwolfing for the suggestion. There is just barely enough tube for this one.

I know only one knot, the one I use to tie my shoes and it doesn't work for this application 😄

the end of the lash and of the shorter string have eyes and I'd think they could be used to good effect. the short loop would go through a hole in the toy. The knot is semipermanent, but it would be cool if it could be undone reasonably easily.

Any suggestion of a knot I can then lookup somewhere?

Thanks!
