Constrictor Knot

The constrictor knot is one of the most effective binding knots. Simple and secure, it is a harsh knot that can be difficult or impossible to untie once tightened. It is made similarly to a clove hitch but with one end passed under the other, forming an overhand knot under a riding turn. The double constrictor knot is an even more robust variation that features two riding turns.

Famous quotes containing the word knot:

    “Separation’s fire
    can be borne
    when there’s a knot of hope,
    but Mother,
    when my love leaves home
    and stays in the same village,
    it’s far worse than death.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
