Thumb knot

Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

The overhand or thumb knot is one of the most fundamental knots, and it forms the basis of many others. The overhand knot is a stopper, especially when used alone, and hence it is very secure, to the point of jamming badly. It should be used if the knot is intended to be permanent. It is often used to prevent the end of a rope from unraveling.
