Bachmann’s Simple Buttonhole knot is single strand variation of
the Buttonhole. It is also a
self-tightening version of the Helical.
The knot grips well and slides easily. If the user leaves the
figure eight tied between uses, then tying the Buttonhole is simple
- just count to get the desired number of wraps. The bulky figure
eight loop interferes with the knot’s operation to some extent,
but this isn't critical.
The Buttonhole is a related
knot tied with a sling loop.

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. |
