Double Dragon Loop?
Paul Kruse just submitted this loop in hopes that someone might be
able to identify it and make comments on it. He refers to it as a Double Dragon loop, but isn't certain that it doesn't already have a name. It might help simplify things to consider the loop with only one coil. http://www.geocities.com/roo_two/doubledragon.html I don't have a lot of time right now to investigate its uniqueness, but I know this group would love to look at it. Cheers, roo |

Unless I have made a mistake (quite possible) in tying the Double Dragon from: http://www.geocities.com/roo_two/doubledragon.html , it isn't. I have not found a name for the knot. I thought the following was interesting when I played around with the Perfection Loop and the Double Dragon. If I withdraw (untuck once) the working end from the Perfection Loop, I end up with a Slip Knot. Reinserting the working end, locks the working end and gives me the Perfection Loop. If I withdraw (untuck once) the working end from the Double Dragon, I end up with the Harness Loop (Artilleryman's Loop), ABOK #1050. Note that the loop is crossed as it is in one of the graphics shown at ABOK # 1050. Reinserting the working end, locks the working end and give me the Double Dragon. Neat huh? - Brian. Ps. I am still looking for a name! -BG |

Aside from Brian's comments alluding to how the Perfection Loop is
based on an overhand knot and how Paul's Loop is not, you can also tell the difference based on their properties when strained hard. Unlike the Perfection Loop (with or without a double coil final pass), the Double Dragon seems to resist jamming. It's a good imposter by outward appearances. |
