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…
Try tying it
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! 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.
