There is no doubt about it, YOU are the "Knot Guy". Since joining this forum I have marveled at the depth and breadth of your knowledge of knots and tying. I have tried to duplicate some of your work but always fall short.
I have made it through some 65 odd years with a few, just a few kinds of knots. The square knot, the cinch knot (for fishing), The Horse knot (that's just what we called it, I don't know the proper name), the Bowline Hitch (I use this one a lot), the sheep shank (and some modifications), the half hitch, The "Granny" knot (which I always tie, on the first try at a square knot) and the timeless "hatchet knot".
While these have served the purposes they were assigned, most of the time... my question is this (and you may have been asked before):
In your opinion, if a grandfather was going to teach his grandsons the five or ten knots they would have to have to do most things in life,
What would they be?
Thanks in advance,
Alan
