What knot for 2 colors

[DaveP]

I finished a sheath the other day with two colors of tiger thread.  Now I can't remember what knot I used to secure the two. I  tried a square knot several times but keeps slipping apart.  Tried melting the ends. Comes apart or too giant for the chiseled hole. 

What are you using???

 

Thanks again

I don't . . . I simply back stitch 3, 4, or 5 holes . . . depending on how tight they seem . . . cut em off flush on the backside . . . lightly touch with a lighter . . . done.

Never had one unravel yet.

May God bless,

Dwight

You might try a Surgeon's Knot, which is similar to a square knot and provides extra friction.

Or a Sheet Bend.

Thanks again! I  really didn't want to have burned ends at both ends, it's a good idea. 

 

The sheet bend worked! 

Surgeon knot actually pulled out.

Glad I could help. I use it for tying plastic CAUTION tape around our job sites, the square knot will pull loose in the wind.
