Any knot will do as a stopper tho, I'm not sure it's worthy of its own section!

 

Maybe so. But few of the stopper knots are there, separate section or not. And the "termination knot" section show the knots that could be used as stopper knots in a configuration that is not suitable as a stopper knot. And I know quite a few knots that are useless or dangerous to use as stopper knots, so I wouldn't agree with your claim that "Any knot will do as a stopper".

 

Any way, I am simply trying to provide a hint (to Steve) of possible improvements that may be made to the Knot Guide.

Joking aside Morten (and I totally agree that some knots are unsafe as stoppers), why use anything but the barrel knot (fishermans)? Bulletproof, easy to tie, easy to undo. Who needs more?
