Is this knot in Ashley?
[edit]The closest thing to it I've identified in ABOK is #1025, but with the working and standing parts switched in function and the figure-eight portion slipped. Topologically it's the same, though. The Packer's knot is quite similar also, but the standing part runs through the other end of the figure-eight. Nice hitch and clever tying method in any case... Any additional background on the knot would be great. --Dfred (talk) 20:31, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
- In preparation for additions to this article I have reviewed the above comments and found my statement about #1025 to be incorrect. Striking. --Dfred (talk) 15:49, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
Links doesn't work - IP blocking
[edit]Two of those links go to a site that are IP blocking my computer, for no apparent reason. If anyone has a different reference then I suggest adding that.

Wrong ABoK-Number
[edit]The stated ABoK #1116 “The Figure-Eight-Noose” is different from what is shown in the Image and in the Video. In ABoK #1116 the working End is forming the Figure-Eight on its own, and the standing End is running through each of both Windows of the Figure-Eight. In the Image and in the Video however the standing End is Part of the Figure-Eight and it's running through one Window only. Unfortunately I do not know the correct ABoK-Number. --2003:E9:2722:F02:0:0:0:1077 (talk) 18:50, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
