self locking reef knot?

I was asking the original poster, not Dan, to provide a diagram or pic of the problem.

…The only issue now is that the constrictor does not hold it’s shape: the two loops come apart when you let them go. What I really need is a constrictor type knot that will hold it’s shape and will tighten as the two ends are drawn apart simultaneously in opposite directions. does this exist?

So… you are basically looking for a loop (that will hold it’s shape as an open loop) until it’s needed to throw over something to squeeze (and doesn’t lose any tension after setting it).

I really enjoy tying the jug knot and seems like a good alternative knot for this application:

Looks complicated but it’s actually pretty simple and quick to tie after a bit of practice.

Might be a bit bulky is all…

Cheers!

google translate：

god， life’s so complicated, can you tell me how to save the living souls from the sea of misery?

maybe not correct but obviously not related to knot

a joke ?

Hi Dan,

@Dan_Lehman post:19

–you need the ends to run the opposite direction

Thank you, it seems only right at this point also attach an image of the original version!(below).I personally found that if, tightening the two wraps around the object,I act in order to “separate” the “doubled” Clove hitch component into two “halves” (forming in this way a sort of rigid “bridge” between the two halves , instead of the loosened "handle"of which I was talking above)your version “bites” strongly,and at the same time is not difficult to loosen;so it seems to me that, at least for objects of a larger size with respect of the diameter of the rope, your version maybe is better!

[ but then Dan tries Luca’s “wrong” way : :o : ]

:o Thanks!

knot4u,excuse me, in fact I misunderstood.

                                                                                                         Bye!

The surgeon’s knot seems closest to our needs …"

Kieran, I don’t see how that knot is in the right class
for what you earlier described --the need, i.e.-- to be:

... a [i]contrictor[/i] type knot that will hold it's shape (without biting onto anything) and will go from large diameter to small diameter as you pull the opposing ends.

!? ::) With the an end-2-end knot (e.g. [i]surgeon's[/i]), you don't have such adjustability at all!?

–dl*

[Luca]

For a"single wrap joined by bend"that can be adjustable, maybe the solution below may be able to take advantage of the “jamming properties " of the Fisherman knot,but used with"melted” tails(which become the ring/wrap around the object),and perhaps might work: the only problem is that one needs to adjust the ring so that its circumference is less than the circumference of the object that wraps before the two Overands come into contact with each other, but seems to be a rather simple solution(if by chance it works decently!).

                                                                                                       Bye!
