Hi,

I’m hoping that someone might be able to identify the knot used here, other than the fact that it’s a bit frayed, I like the look and would like to do something similar when I’m not using wire.

Thanks for your help.

Glen.

Hi Glen,
Not the way I would do it, but it works.
I think the knot is a snake knot.


Kind regards

I do one and a half turns around the d-ring followed by six half hitches. It's not completely the same as your photo, but it's not to much dissimilar and looks very professional.

Cheers,

The snake knot looks like it’ll take an age to tie and be difficult to get the tension right.
I usually go over the top, I’m paranoid about it coming undone!
I’ve been using a clove hitch and a couple of half hitched up to now, but I always think it could look better, maybe more half hitches is the answer!

I do a similar knot but tape the "tails" a little neater. Does the finishing tape look a tad thin or is it just me?

Glen, welcome to the FF btw

I think the tape is too small on the cord as well, but to he honest the tape on the back of the frame isn’t done to the standard I like to produce.

Course I do mine completely different , I thread my cord through both D-Rings and tie the cord together in a reef knot with a couple of half hitches
