Sylvain's knot

According to the video embedded by Charles I believe this one fits into the Carrick, Abok #1033, group of variants, eight in total.

More specifically, Carricks feature two states, one with a simple nipping loop, and the other with a crossing knot nipping structure, and the latter comes from the former with just capsizing the Carrick collar.

Similarly, the nipping loop state comes from the crossing knot state by capsizing the returning loop.

Doing so in this paradigm, it appears that the nipping loop is stabilised in an Eskimo-Carrick-like fashion in a pattern under,over,under,over,under.

In other words, this knot is an anti-carrick, transformed into its crossing knot state.

These profiles are generally known to the majority of the knotting community, mainly for their resistance to jamming right up to the MBS yield point.

Can it actually dethrone the standard 1010 bowline?:face_with_raised_eyebrow: :confused:
