👍🏻 Thanks Vinnie - your butcher's knot is the best I've found so far: easiest, quickest, and most secure. And in my experience it far outstrips the Canadian jam knot which has always failed me by not jamming enough!

The WareBound Boxes knot.... since she is more with us, I had forgotten how to do it... I can now pratice to do it again....

I do the same with a figure-8-knot instead (standing end needs to go through the same bight as the working end of the figure-8-knot), but your method seems to be quite a bit faster. The jamknot I use does come undone when you pull on the working end of the figure-8-knot; useful if you want to save the twine. For most of my applications I don't think that securing the jamknot with half hitches is neccessary, especially when the shearing forces are enough to pinch off the twine as with your knot. If I feel the need to secure the knot, I will often use a half hitch slipknot; again, trying to save twine when possible.

Thanks. Great alternative and faster than the Canadian jam knot. But with the Canadian jam knot that you showed us, why go through the hassle of looping it under, pulling it tight, then running the remaining coil of cordage thru the loop to create the half hitch to lock it? You can just lock it down the same way you locked off your butchers jam knot. Much easier, and faster. BTW your knot is simply a double overhand slip knot with a lock when deconstructed. A standard slip knot only has one overhand knot. As you said in the video a single loop ( 1 overhand knot) would work also. That makes it a standard slipknot with lock off. But you use two loops to create your butchers jam knot. The take away from your video is in locking it off I guess.
@vinniesdayoff3968
2 жыл бұрын
With regards to the single loop working it may work with certain twines but the double overhand knot stops the knot slipping when using slippery synthetic twines. The butchers who showed me used rayon twine. If you used a single overhand knot with that twine it simply pulled out when strain came on it. with even more slippery cord, perhaps like braided fishing line, even more loops would be added which makes the knot a uni knot. In my experience the Canadian jam knot is much more secure under a load than it would be with a lock knot like mine. Different knots for different applications. The butchers knot when speed is needed and load baring is not critical. Thanks very much for your excellent comment 👍
@nokieng6502

Thanks Vinnie. Yes I agree with your comments regarding the Canadian jam knot. I was just saying that you can lock it off with your method that you used for the butchers jam not.

Vinnie -- great tutorial. The first part of the knot you tie (two wrap Uni) is a Poacher's Knot. It was a knot used to make a snare. (If you tie that first knot, then remove the bundle of sticks, you have a Poacher's knot (noose or snare). The Poachers knot is essentially a two-wrap Uni or Grinner tied on a bight. It looks like you then finish and lock off the knot with a half-hitch. Very nice technique! I do a similar think with a Canadian Jam knot. :tu: (Hey, how do I send you a knife to try out?)
