Rope Size: The pictures here show the rope tied in large diameter rope. When this is necessary, the binding strand should be cut over the other constrictor strands, using them to protect your rope. Simple and secure, it is a harsh knot that can be difficult or impossible to untie once tightened. Release: The Constrictor Knot can be very hard to undo – cutting the knot can be the only option. The constrictor knot is one of the most effective binding knots. However, when the twine or rope has to be first passed around an object, then the Threading the End Method has to be used.ĭisadvantages: The Constrictor Knot fails when tied against a flat surface – it requires a curved surface for the binding turn to grip the Half Hitch. Fold the loops down around the center to form the Constrictor Knot. Start similarly to the Clove Hitch, but bring the end of the rope back. Using the Twisting Method: The Twisting Method is quick and convenient and can be used even for short lengths, e.g., when using a piece of twine to secure a fraying rope’s end. The Constrictor Knot consists of a clove hitch with a half knot under the cross-point. It securely ties the neck of a sack or bag it has been used as a temporary hose clamp and it can be used to hold items together for gluing.Īlternatives: In addition to the Twisting Method shown here, the Constrictor Knot can be tied by the Folding Method, and by Threading the End when tying this knot round a rail or bar.
It is an excellent quick temporary whipping for a fraying rope’s end and can be used to keep a rope’s end together while it is being whipped. Although there are literally thousands of different knots, the knots illustrated and animated here include the best knots from the four primary knot categories: Loops (make a loop in the rope), Bends (rope to rope knots), Hitches (rope to object knots) and Binding Knots. Uses: The Constrictor Knot ( ABOK # 1188, p 216.) deserves to be much more widely known and used. It includes a large range of camping knots and essential utility knots.
