The Grinner Knot

Recommended Posts

Woops! Just read all the posts and have overstepped myself!, sorry!

 

Didnt know that was a grinner though...I have ALWAYS been taught that the 'Uni-knot' is how you tie them, and that a Uni and a Grinner are one and the same.

 

Where is the source for the knots bob?

I too struggle to understnad how the knots differ when finished as the initial twists surely pull out?

however I do find that these twists help the knot pull up better.

 

For connecting braid I tie it (1) with a round turn and (2) using a doubled over line - ie. in a loop on the end of the line. I got a lot of failures at swivels before this addition.
