The phrase in the bight (or on a bight) means a bight of line is itself being used to make a knot. Specifically this means that the knot can be formed without access to the ends of the rope. [ 6 ] This can be an important property for knots to be used in situations where the ends of the rope are inaccessible, such as forming a fixed loop in the ...
A bight is a slack part in the middle of a rope, usually a curve or loop. [1] [2] Knots that can be tied without access to either end of the rope are called knots in the bight. To tie a knot with a bight is to double up the rope into a bight and then tie the knot using the double rope.
Figure-eight knot a.k.a. savoy knot, Flemish knot – type of knot created by a loop on the bight; Figure-eight loop – type of knot created by a loop on the bight; Figure-of-nine loop – forms a fixed loop in a rope; Fireman's chair knot – knot tied in the bight forming two adjustable, lockable loops
Karash double loop is a common name for a knot forming two loops. This knot has been a known variant of the Bowline on a bight per the International Guild of Knot Tyers, referred to as bowline twist or twisted collar bowline on a bight. The knot is also referred to as nœud de fusion in French references and sometimes called Fusion knot in English.
Tied in the bight, it is made similarly to a figure-of-eight loop but with an extra half-turn before finishing the knot. [1] Also similar to the stevedore loop, the figure-nine loop is generally shown as being based on an intermediate form between the figure-eight knot and the stevedore knot.
As a midline loop knot made with a bight, it is related to several other similar knots, including the alpine butterfly knot and artillery loop. If pulled with one hand holding one end, the other hand holding the start side of the loop that is the continuation of the same end, [ clarification needed ] before tightening the knot of the loop, it ...
The bowline on a bight is a knot which makes a pair of fixed-size loops in the middle of a rope. Its advantage is that it is reasonably easy to untie after being exposed to load. It is one of the two tie-in knots that are being taught by the German Alpine Club (DAV), generally being considered secure. [1] [2] [3]
The halter hitch is topologically the same knot as the Falconer's knot, i. e. a slipped overhand knot around the main part. [3] The falconer has to tie the same knot one handed, throwing the end around the anchor object (the perch), gripping it with a scissoring fingers act, pulling the bight from opposite side of the main part using the back of the thumb.
