Hello knot tyers,
I hope all is well.
For some time I have tied what I believe is a variation of the Clove Hitch. It has some extra turns which give it great capacity to grip when pulled in various directions, and also brings a strangle aspect. I call this Loctite (which is a naughty use of the patent brandname!), but I don't know if it has already been "invented".
I tie from a working end, but it can be formed first and placed on a (spar).
Can you please evaluate this hitch and let me know if it is a new variation? Pictures attached.
All the best.
Greg
