Strait Bend
The Strait Bend offers ultimate security, perfect right-angle lead of ends, and ease of untying not to mention superior strength.
To Tie a Strait Bend:
| Make a clockwise loop, end behind the standing part. Hold in your let hand. Drop the other end into this loop. |
|
| Make a counterclockwise loop with the 2nd end, also end behind the standing part. The 2 interlinked loops form an elliptical eye between them. |
|
| Pass both ends into this eye, away from you. |
|
| Draw up by holding the knot with 1 hand and pulling in succession on each end and each standing part. |
