Dwight Report post Posted June 22, 2014 I've heard it called both a bleed knot and a blood knot, . . . and I have no idea which if either is correct. It is very simply done by making a slit in the bottom piece, . . . parallel to the edges, . . . just slightly longer than the width of the strap, . . . pull the top piece down through, . . . make the same type cut at about the same distance as the first cut, . . . but again in what is now the bottom piece, . . . pull the new top piece through it, . . . and you have the knot. Take a key ring, . . . put a strap of leather around the ring, . . . follow the above directions, . . . the first one will take you 20 minutes, . . . the second should take you 2 minutes. It's really that simple. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
