MichaelJ07 Member Registered: 12/19/06 Posts: 101 Loc: Michigan, USA	Oh, I love that list! Knot porn to me! Originally Posted By: ireckon I'm a knot junkie. I enjoy tying the best knot I can manage. The knots below are some of my memorized favorites. I have used all of them. You probably only need to know 6 knots to get any job done, but I have a hard time picking only 6. BEND •Butterfly (easy) •Carrick (symmetric) •Sheet / Double Sheet (Bowline family) •Reef backed up with Strangle Knots (works on any different rope diameters) •Zeppelin (symmetric) BINDER MID-AIR •Blake •Gleipnir •Tautline BINDER AGAINST CONVEX OBJECT •Bag •Constrictor/Double Constrictor •Constrictor ABOK #1253 •Jug Sling •Reef •Strangle (jams) FISHING (All these work w/ monofilament, braid and fluorocarbon) •Arbor (line-to-reel) •Berkley Braid (line-to-lure) •King Sling (loop for free swinging lure) •Palomar/Double Palomar (line-to-lure) •Uni (bend or line-to-lure) HITCH COMBINATION •Marlin Spike •Swiss Seat •Trucker (great for making tension) •Versatackle (great for making tension) HITCH GRIPPING •Adjustable Grip (good for making tension) •Blake (good for making tension) •Klemheist •Prusik •Well Pipe HITCH NOOSE-TYPE •Bull •Buntline Slipped •Girth •Halter •Hangman (for storing rope) •Running Loop (e.g., Running Bowline) •Siberian •Strangle •Timber HITCH WRAP-TYPE •Bag (better than Groundline) •Getaway (kind of like Highwayman Hitch but better) •Pile •Round Turn and Two Half Hitches •Sailor (super easy untie) •Snuggle LASHING •Diagonal •Square •Transom •Tripod LOOP ON BIGHT •Bell Ringer + Half Hitch to secure •Bowline with Bight •Bowline 3 Loops (tie whole loop on bight) •Butterfly 1/2/3 Loops •Double Dragon •Karash Double Loop •Span (great in Trucker Hitch) LOOP ON END •Bowline •Bowline Birmingham 2/3 Loops •Double Dragon •Zeppelin STOPPER •Ashley •Fig9 _________________________ That which does not kill me has made a grave tactical error.

In terms of great knot sites, I found http://www.animatedknots.com very useful. Its good for both left and right handed users. It has a commentary on what are the advantages of one knot over another for any particular situation. It also has recommendations when NOT to use the knot. As for a short list of notable knots that form a list of useful knots to know how to use, I find http://notableknotindex.webs.com very useful. Thanks. Conway Yee
