Where applicable please could you list your chosen application for the knot in question, size cord you prefer, length of cord(or loop in some cases), pros and cons, etc etc...anything you can think of really. Thanks

Really good knot, use it every day. You have to be carefull when tieing it though...

when you do the initial stages, where you feed 2 loops through the carabiner, they need to be looped going AWAY from the spine of the carabiner. This makes the weight load down the spine, not down the gate. Therefore providing a stronger linkage.

I use this as my main attatchment with tachyon, when not using the eye, and for my XTC lanyard. I also use it to attatch a blakes hitch to krabs, I love it, it has never let me down. Oh yeah, i also use it to tie my throw line to the bag and then line to rope to haul up n over, I use it a lot I guess. I do know how to tie other hitches and knots,honest!

 

Good tip from Trees_ :thumbup1:

Here again, it's the knot I like best for main attachment to krab on lanyard or on climbing line with no eye. MUCH better than a bowline or f8 for this as it cinches down on the krab and helps prevent side loading - when cinched it can't just randomly slide over the gate.
