What knot is this?

[hazzygawa]

I have it on my personal strop and it works bloody well with a micro pulley

[Neil Frost]

Schwabisch?

[Peter]

Klemheist

[White Noise]

Schwabisch?

 

Aye for sure Schwabisch

[Rupe]

It depneds where that left hand side loop (or bar goes) if the bottom of it loops round the bottom leg then its a schwabish, but I think Peter is right! It loops back up the the top of the knot, so its a Klemheist.

 

The give away is the number of loops round the rope. Their are five so its a klemhiest. Schwabish would only have four.

 

Thinking about it, schwabish could have five, or any number, if tied open like this one is, so it goes beack to depending on where the bottom of that loop goes?

 

I think Peter is right though.

Schwabisch

[Rupe]

Of course he is!

you can not tie a schwabish with a loop. klemhiest can only have even numbers of raps.

Have I made this knot up or is a recognised knot?
