ABOK1426 twofold overhand bend

I surmise that it’s a matter of space --there’s a big
opening on these facing pages w/#1425 et al.!

Let me remind folks that the simple crossing/twisting
of tails of SmitHunter’s bend (#1425a) yields what
I think most will regard as a better version --more
resistant to jamming, as tail material gets pushed
into the collar space. (Xarax had posted a nice
image of this, cited somewhere above, I think.)

Hi Ciao, about the tying methods. I tie these bends in several start methods and have worked on which bdpg formation that the bend may achieve. I will show you some of my works. Thank you.

…if you consider the reverse of the #1425 and change the way the (new, of the reverse bend) tails are crossed you will obtain a reverse #1425A (note you can cross the tails in 2 ways)
or more simply (!) start from a Granny knot (left over right - left over right, so you change the first crossing of the Standing Parts in Ashley’s 1425 diagram) and then follow the diagram… :wink:
Try tying it :wink:

Ciao,

Hi Ciao, here is the notes. I have named a bend as False Hunter’s Bend. Is it FZB? From this diagram the tying step will show the two loops met together, it is easy to distinguish whether it is locked/link or superimposed.

Ciao siriuso,
(we use “Ciao” as “hello” too)
the sketches are very nice! :slight_smile: bravo!
the YLB is wrong, what should it be?
I think it is right to call FHB/FZB False Zeppelin, because the 2 loops are not interlinked, (by the way, this Bend is an auto-reverse Bend (it is equal to its reverse) as the #1452!).
However I don’t understand how you count/enumerate…
we could add the Hunter X, the #1452 X, the ShakeHands not X…
did you try tying the #1425A starting from the Granny knot and then following Ashley’s #1425 diagram?
Maybe I will try an enumeration… :-
Ciao,

Hi knotsaver, YLB stands for Y-lock Bend which has been posted by me in “My Working Notes”. In my notes, I tied these bends in several ways which are different from the known tying methods. So they are the other tying methods or new methods, sometimes I named them, e.g. fork in, spiral drops, pecking duck, to indicate the action.
I have made a chart for these family bends. The one I just posted here is an extract from the chart. I will include this chart and some extracts in my Part 5 later coming to post in this forum.
I will try what you suggested, thanks.

Hi knotsaver, I use the bdpg method to further to accertain my opinion on #1425A is an variation of #1426. They are so close.
You can achieve #1426 by tying #1425A with ends crossing. You will get #1426. The outlook and the tying steps are with little differences. But if you use Ashley’s method (start with an Overhand Knot) like #1426 or #1453 to tie #1426, you will not go easy to find the small difference between them.
