This is a good simple way without all the fancy finger twisting . Now I can see that's it's just a simple clove hitch around the main line basically a simple prusik knot ( friction knot ) with an extra single hitch lock off . Your excellent way of showing it taught me that I already knew how to tie it but did not know I knew it , if that makes any sense .
Finally! A clear description of how to tie a butcher's knot! I watched 4 or 5 videos here on RUclips and they were too fast or too far or a bad angle. Try as they did to be clear, including slow-motion, it was still unclear, until this video. Excellent job, SebringSage!
Thank you sir. When I first shot the video, I used cord similar to what a butcher would use. It was very difficult to see what the knot was supposed to look like throughout the progression of tying the knot. So I re-shot it using rope. I think that helped.
@@SebringSage Thank you for taking the time to TEACH something rather than simply demonstrate you know how to do it. Lot of YT video posters could take a lesson here.
Thanks, most videos do it too quickly and not close up enough...plus with actual butcher string making it difficult to follow. After watching your video I realize it's a buntline hitch with a half hitch added on, two knots I already know.
":Tis Knot"...LOL...@@Jane_Ricciardi ...as this person is making it way more complicated to see and teach even though using cord rather than butchers twin (the most common string used for it.) There are, I will grant you and the video maker, generically several "hitches" that go by this name..."Butchers Knot." Nevertheless, the most common form of a true "Butchers Knot" is in the trade of the Abattoir, and is nothing more than simple "sliding figure eight knot" synched tight then finished off with a singe "half hitch" tie off...
@@JayCWhiteCloud LOL! I see what you did there! :-P I found the use of the thicker rope easier to follow than other vids using the twine. (Same for knitting tutes using extra chunky yarn vs fine baby yarn.) I've seen other vids tying the same knot and calling it a butcher's knot. They all claim to have learned it from an old-timer, someone who's worked as a butcher for decades. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if there are regional variation (the several hitches you mentioned...?) In any case...don't get me started on the people using a surgeon's knot to tie a roast and then calling it a butcher's knot! ;-)
I agree fully for a novice person learning...@@Jane_Ricciardi…that using the thicker cord materials does make seeing, and internalizing the steps much easier to compared. The challenge I see with many of the videos covering the "Butchers Knot" is they re tied...TOO FAST...and with string (???) which is virtually impossible for someone to really effectively learn from... However, with that stated, when this video was sent to be by a student with questions, the first thing I became aware of was this was not a "butchers knot" as all but some other esoteric binding knot...almost like a "book binders knot" which some book binders do use the "Butchers Knot" (better called the "Butchers Hitch" because it isn't really a knot at all within the family of "ties" it belongs to...

04-03-2024 This is the BEST and easy way to make a knot after ....many video clips i see on you tube.Thank You....from Arizona
Excellent presentation sir. Thank you very much. One of the best clips on RUclips for a butcher’s knot.
GREAT!!! Very clear! Use of the larger rope was exactly what I needed to understand this.
Me too ! Watched several videos, and this is by far the most clear demo. Not nearly as easy to teach something as most YT'ber's would think.

Nice amazing video
Thank you Sir...
Using paracord allows me to see how to tie the knot... Thanks!

Thank you
"KNAATT"...where do you come from?
This is the weirdest way of tying a butcher's knot I have ever seen.
Yes, this is a strange structure with no advantage.
you sure did butcher that knot
:)
Not a Butchers Knot....
