Hi guys, just wondering if anyone can put a name to this knot? I was taught it when I was sailing a while ago, but I was never given a name for it. It is essentially a bunch or round turns with the tail tied with two half hitches. It functions as a slide and grip knot/ adjustable loop.
Seems to work better than a midshipmans hitch, tautline hitch, blakes hitch or similar. I cant reliably get any of them to work in the rope I use for tarp lines, but this unnamed knot seems to work, but I havent field tested it yet. If anyone can suggest any other knots that will give a slide and grip/adjustable loop, that work in rather slippery paracordesque rope, then please give me a shout because Im sick of using truckies hitches on every line and having to retie them with each adjustment.
Pictures attached
