Is this a new friction hitch?

[tuttle]

The knot looks similar to 'gripping sailors hitch' i have searched over 30 friction hitches but cannot find this one.

 

Hope someone can shed some light on it.

Nope because i can not spell it propper name, which is why it is known as the Micheal knot

I tied the michoacan (not the same), mines different and sits sweeter.

I've got a very similar knot that 'I sorta made / copied' off a sterling rope advert. And it only sets nice with the stein eye 2 eye beeline. I haven't tried it with 9 mm straight beeline with no splices or sewn terminations, and would like to post a pic but don't know how to from iphone?

Plus another cord that stays firm and keeps its roundness would be good for this knot too?!

I tested this knot flatout yesterday, tried everything, it never jams and is completely free flowing, the lower part keeps its squareness and helps the ascent, only issue is you sometimes have to lock it off, but it still locks at a shock. Best knot i've used.

Its a knut or TK by the looks of it, I use the same finish on the howard knut combo that some of my guys use...
