Many are too complicated/convoluted, hard-ish to tie and serve no better than simpler items.

Allow me, to respectfully disagree with your above assertion SS.

I kind of perceive a soft tone of disdain towards new creations presented in this forum, and this seems at least, a bit odd coming from a person with a high knotting background like yours.

I understand you have been a very long-established member of this forum, and it is quite hard for me to believe that you haven’t seen very remarkable creations every so often, because i, with much less years on my back, than you, have actually found current or old offerings that really stand out.

I also understand that your improvised Scott’s lock technique, was born/devised in an attempt to design a simple yet effective lock for 1010 which was initiated in this very forum, in the first place.

As with many of the "new" knot explorations presented here in this forum, I believe, the only light-of-day they will see is here.

That’s rather true, i’m not sure how this supression mechanism really works, but i believe most of us are not remotely concerned about that either.

However, the fact that remarkable creations do not manage to surmount the watertight boundaries of this forum, does not mean at all, in my view, that are too complicated/convoluted, hard-ish to tie and serve no better than simpler items.

Some might serve way better than so called simpler items existing out there.

Afterall, being knot geeks, makes us delve more thoroughly into technical knotting concepts, and with such level of preoccupation, i guess we deserve to know something more over the rest, don’t we?

Good day Kost_Greg.

Thank you for expressing your thoughts.

My comments were my own opinion and nowhere near “disdain”. In my view of knot tying, simpler is sometimes better, although not always.
I applaud any exploring and sometimes encourage, even thank the individual. “Sometimes it is just fun to explore, I’m all for it.”<

Just so I know I said it; It seems to me, by your written words, that you have a soft tone of agreement / understanding with my own.
I won’t speak about others views, they are entitled to expressing them. Civilly.

So, if we can, let’s not dilute this thread any further.

Again, thanks for your contributions. Enjoy.

S

Hello SS

Expressing my own diametrically opposed view to the relation “cause-effect” that you, yourself, have implied in your previous wording, does not necessarily suggest thread diluting by my side.

For some people, in my view, it might be something more than just a fun for exploration, and i’m very grateful for their effort and contributions.

Again, i’m less inclined to expand any further about the mechanism behind this effect, and i’m not interested in this very effect either.

What i do care, is that i was able to exchange views about an offered knot structure, with other knot enthusiasts like me, being also able to understand its working principle so, many thanks for your interesting contribution.

Have a nice day!
