Yes, it's an old thread, but with an unanswered question, still.
It would help to post this to the IGKT's forum at
www.igkt.net/sm, under Practical Knots.
And it would help to have some details on :
1) what rope you've tried this knot in (or in which
you saw it tied & used) --or did you even do this,
or otherwise only get some tying instruction but
never actual-factual usage?
2) how quickly/simply tied it was (just to try to better
understand what might be its brevity of structure);
3) how many strands of rope ran through the hypothetical
bucket handle --just one, or a bight (pair) ?!
These clues might guide some imagination towards re-discovering
the mysterious-so-far "Iron knot". --or something else as effective.
Cheers,
