Members IanP13 Posted November 28, 2018 Members Report Posted November 28, 2018 Hi Everyone! This is my first post and I am hoping one of you will know what this knot is and how to tie it. I saw this not holding the clasp on a dog leash. The bleed or blood knot on the handle end is not a problem but I cannot figure out how to tie the clasp end. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Members mdawson Posted November 28, 2018 Members Report Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Hi That is not a knot as such, you make 2 cuts along the belt towards the end dividing it into thirds, that’s toward the end not right to the end, then after feeding through the buckle, or snap in this case, you twist the three pieces into loops and feed the belt length through them. bit hard to describe without pictures but don’t have access to any right at the moment. i learnt this as an aussie bushman/drovers belt, if you google those terms it should come up Edited November 28, 2018 by mdawson Quote
Members IanP13 Posted November 29, 2018 Author Members Report Posted November 29, 2018 Thanks M I really appreciate your feedback! I will google and see what I get. I did a search and could not find anything. If you get time would you mind posting some pictures or better yet a video of you tying one. Quote
Members Nowandagain Posted 23 hours ago Members Report Posted 23 hours ago Ashley’s Book of Knots contains brief instructions on how to tie this. See plates 1705 and 1706 on page 294. (For some reason, I could not paste a link, but search Ashley’s Book of Knots PDF for a free online copy.) I first saw this knot back in the 1970s when a leather worker named Rob McCall (one of the most creative, inspired & inspiring leatherworkers I’ve met) used it to attach the buckle to his belts and simultaneously form a triple keeper. He also used it as an adjuster on his handbag straps. If you see a leather piece signed Sparrow, it’s one of his. Quote

That's a lot of knots. It sure is. I checked out the hard copy once from the library-easily 3 inches thick! He’s got some beautiful button knots in there. Quote
