The Knut
(Knut Foppe’s knot) is another arborists knot that releases and
moves easily, yet holds when loaded. It is somewhat complicated
to tie. Todd Kramer’s TK knot is similar.

Note: The performance of any ascending knot depends on the diameter, material, construction, and condition of both the main line and the ascender knot sling material. It may also depend on exactly how one ties the knot. Your knot’s performance can easily differ from mine. |
