More knotty stuff on my blog: stormdrane.blogspot.com I used a short length of paracord to demonstrate this decorative knot. An example of a series of the knots is shown used as a knife lanyard tied to a Spyderco Salt I, made with about three to four feet of paracord. This knot can be found to go by several different names from books and online resources. A few are: Chinese Crown Knot, Japanese Crown Knot, Japanese Success Knot, Rustler’s Knot, Friendship Knot, cross knot, and square knot. It is knot #808 in the ‘Ashley Book of Knots'(ABoK). Knot responsibly.

More knotty stuff on my blog page: stormdrane.blogspot.com This video tutorial shows how to tie a multiple overhand sliding knot, also known as a scaffold knot, barrel knot, strangle knot, and probably goes by a few other names depending on the source one is learning from. Examples I’ve used it for are taking one strand from a monkey’s fist or turks head knot and attaching it to a pocket knife, flashlight, key chain, multitool, etc… *Note that the standing end of the loop needs to be secure to an object, or has knot work that prevents it from being pulled back through the knot when pulling on the loop end. *Although this sliding knot looks similar to a hangman’s noose, it is not. Knot responsibly.
