Speir Knot (Modified) - Quick release fixed loop knot

Today I wanted to share with you a quick release fixed loop knot that I learned from a Russian channel. I tied this knot a little differently than the original poster did. This difference is the direction of turn of the nipping loop. I felt that this improved the overall stability of this knot. I am hoping that a viewer can help me determine the proper name for this handy fixed loop. For now, we will call it the Russian Quick Release.
Edit: With the help of several viewers, and finding this knot in an Army publication, I was able to locate the proper name for this knot. The Speir Knot

    Seems like a nice quick release if you want to keep your line in good condition, because it release at the half hitch there is not a lot of strain on the fibers when you pull the bight out.

    What an interesting knot - it's a slipped square knot, but with some sort of twist in it. Never seen anything like it.

    Will need to practise that a bit more to make it look as impressive as yours. 😁

    This very similar to a "Speir Knot" shown in the Richard Hopkins book "Knots" (ISBN 1-57145-981-2, ©2003, PRC Publishing Ltd.). Two differences: 1. He ties 'left-handed', or at least on the opposite side that you use, with the standing part on the right 2. Like your reference poster, it appears to me that he turns the loop in the opposite direction (toward him, rather than away) before he puts the quick-release bight through. (I tried it, and both ways seem to work pretty well, but yours looks nicer.) - Joe C.

    Not sure what this is called either, but I like it! The knots that I like and use usually have a kind of flow when you’re tying them, and this one does. I will definitely be adding this to my repertoire.

    If you switch the sides of the knot you could pass the tail through to finish a none slippy version. Wonder how easy it would be to untie compared to a bowline.

    I saw this knot several months ago and that site called it a Texas Bolin.

    It looks similar to a Kalmyk loop, (or a slipped Inuit Bowline) to me. Although I must admit that's an incredibly quick way of tying it. As well as an incredibly good description. Thank you.

    Hi, just found this Video and what a wonderful quick release knot. Almost too good to be true😅 As a true knot-nerd I practiced and messed around with it. Tried to find similaritier to other knots. It's stable when the load is even but when you pull the standing-end and the left side of the loop the knot spills to an other hitch. Then the loop isn't fix anymore, it looks very similar to an high post hitch after spilling.

    That reminds me of the mooring hitch.

    Это узел пожарных.Он плох тем, что при переменной нагрузке внутри петли (нагрузке на "разрыв петли") узел разваливается.
