Title: identify a knot
Post by: Dmitry on July 27, 2020, 09:01:38 AM

Hello dear knot tyers! Help me to identify this knot please. Has it any name? I couldn't find it in any knot book. In my mind it is some modification of left-hand sheet bend. It is easy to tie and untie it. It doesn't slip on polyamide rope.

Thank you Alan Lee! It's quite similar really. But in my case it is a bend, not a Becket Hitch. It suitable to join different diameters too.

Personally, i'd prefer the lock on the solid and locking side of splice;
not the folded back around reeve.
