Amazing Mikko! Very creative variations and finishes to standard knots. The splice start was brilliant! Vernon

have been looking for a project like this for a converted wodden swedish fid i made for a friend who is getting into knot and rope work to keep his hands working, arthritic joints of his and mine need constant movement..this kinda manipulation of rope does the job well and fun doing as well..love your channel , being from nfld canada i grew up around sailors and fishermen..so this is like getting part of home back..cheers

This is an awesome way to protect your tools.

I could watch you tie all day! Thank you for sharing this!

Excellent. Well done. I admire your craftsmanship. Also, Tears in Heaven is one of my favs.

Great idea! Like your inventiveness on the two knots. Thanks for sharing you talents with the rest of us knotheads. Will be trying this one in the very near future.

Verry instrukthing thanks to you my frend thanks for beauty music

Tidy tying Mikko, Especially the top knot.

Mikko, does that wall, over under etc at the end have an ABOK reference? I've tied it a few time now but I'm wondering what the finished knot is referrenced as?

Not to my knowlege, it doesn´t. You could call it an extended footrope knot or six strand gaucho :)

OH... it has a name now then :) Thaks Mikko.

Loved watching this video. Very nice! You're very skilled, compliments. One question maybe: Why do you use a over two crown in the second part? Is this for decorative purposes or does it has something to do with the taper off the spike?

@mikkosnellman

Yes, over two crowning covers a larger diameter better.

I do make it and sell my cordage worldwide. So far only to order but will open also a webshop when I have enough in stock. Follow my website www.snellman.ax for updates.

I know what I'll be doing this afternoon. Do you have a name for that final knot or is it in Ashley's?

Sorry, I designed the knot myself and have no idea if it is to be found in any book.

I just poured over Ashley's trying to find that knot. I should have read the comments first. I found the middle knot but not the end one. Congratulations of coming up with it, it's a beauty. I've hand written instructions for my self in the margins of Ashley, so it is now in ABoK

Could you do one like this for a knife sheath?
