- Knot tying video tutorial. Learn how to make a double constrictor knot. Easy step by step instructions in this guide.
The constrictor knot is an extremely useful knot, which is another knot that should be more widely known and utilized. It is mentioned on numerous occasions in the Ashley Book of Knots (ABoK). Clifford Ashley recommends it for a multitude of purposes from whipping a ropes end to handcuffs to clamping a hose. Master rigger Brion Toss describes it as at least as useful as the bowline knot and "to know the knot is to constantly find uses for it."
It is in the category of binding knots and is very secure and easy to tie. It has a very strong clamping characteristic which gives it it's names sake after the snake. The boa constrictor. To get extreme constriction without hurting your hands it is often suggested to use a marlinespike hitch around a rod or other appropriate object and use those to pull hard.
It is tied very similarly to the clove hitch and if you look at the structure of the knot it has an overhand knot which is locked into place with a riding turn. This demonstration showed the knot tied with an end but it can also be tied on a bight.
related knots include: Clove hitch, transom knot, strangle knot, miller's knot, boa knot, cross constrictor knot.
Uses: replacement for a zip tie. Handcuffs. In spearfishing to tie off speargun bands. Hose clamp. Binding bungee cord. Seizing a hole in a prussic loop to make the carabiner attachment more secure in climbing. Tying off a sack or bag like a millers knot. Tying off slingshot bands. Clamping pieces to be glued.
The main disadvantages of the knot is that it is extremely difficult, or often times impossible to untie. It also needs a curved surface to bind so it is not good for square or flat objects.

This made it so easy. If you want to test the strength of the knot by pulling it tight but still not want to have to cut it to get it off, tie it around the big end of a smooth tapered object. Then slide it down to the narrow end to remove. For example, I tie my knot around a baseball bat. That way I can practice it over and over. Thanks for the clear instruction. Too many others do not give you time enough to go along with it. But your slow approach makes it easy to follow.
This is the best tutorial on a knot.
You go slow, you pause,
Giving me time to process and visually follow the rope pattern.
Well done.
I'll be watching your videos to learn more knots
I know this is year old post, but I came here to say the same. Great job on this video.
absolutely the most clearly explained knot videos on RUclips. Others leave me like "wait, what?" You show amazing consideration for the viewers point of view and need to understand what's going on. I will watch every one!
Well said!
I agree totally. while watching I thought, I'll have to leave a comment on the instruction delivery. A joy to watch. also subscribed.
I knew about these knots for my pneumatic hoses at work but I kept putting it off. I decided to get velcro and then I realized I was neglecting this resourceful idea. Procrastination causes a lot of not needed stress. Let me tell ya. Yeah, thanks a lot for this video. It feels like I owe you.
I'm not claiming that I've watched everyone but you are one of the best explainers of knots that I've seen so far because you do it from the point of view as if I was doing it so I don't have to try to constantly turn myself around to make sure I'm doing it right. I I think you understand how confusing the knots can be when you're trying to learn how to tie them. or at least they are, at times, to me. Sometimes I find myself having to watch 5,6,7 times to get it right. And I'm not trying to put down anyone else that does tutorials. I do appreciate your help
I transported a big table today as I departed my apartment building using a hand truck and this knot tied at either end of a single wrap of similar diameter paracord. My neighbor, aghast at the rigging, repeatedly cautioned the load would separate and crash (for effect, I left only an inch of working Paracord dangling from both knots). I responded, _knot a chance_ as I rolled the load with ease down three flights of steps & out the main entrance. Many thanks for a great tutorial.
*_TRUST !!_*
The best and clearest video on tying a knot. So many others either do it to quickly or take too long with repetitions and fingers all over the place - well done 👍👍
Best instructional I've seen, clear angle of hands and knot, clear instructions.. keep these coming!
Thank you! So much easier than making all the loops and sliding it over the end of the stick. Not only is it way less complicated but also you can't always slip the knot over the end of the stick!
Clear and detailed - added to the number of knots I learned and I am going to practice it!
Best explained double constrictor knot on RUclips
Clear, uncluttered and calm presentation. Thank you.
If the mighty constrictor is not enough, a double constrictor will do the job.
Thanks for the guide.
Or the quad constrictor.
G'day mate I know this was 5 years ago but just wanted to say that was a fantastic video. simple and easy to follow without a 20-minute backstory of how your grandpa showed you this one :)
Thank you very much for such a well explained and clear instructional!
Thank you!
You explain all so clear because you have a special way of seeing them.
You're the best !!! Add a thanks button so we can thank you properly!
Man! Thank you for your very clear descriptions and video. And also for your pace! So many videos on knots are too fast to really see what’s happening with the line.
Your method of explaining is very clear.Thank you
The fold method for this is rather neat. Make 2 mirrored overhand turns with each end, leaving a little slack between them in the line. Flip each turn over the other's standing end and fold them down towards each other under the slack. The slack should naturally become a loop between the 2 turns and you can pull it down to be the same size as the 2 turns. Insert your object through and cinch it down.
That is one solid knot! I nearly had to cut the rope I was using for practice because I couldn't get the knot untied for a long time. :)
top knotch tutorial! quick & easy to follow
I don’t know if it because of the rope I’m using but I can undo it
Edit: fixed it and it works like a charm very helpful tutorial
Am incredible knot that I never knew about. Thank you!
Wow , Cheers , that’s a tight knot
Just the one I was needing for a fiddly monofilament project, mate, thank you very much for your excellent content.
My favorite knot. What do you guys use it for?
Will it slide along the pole less than the single constrictor knot??
Very easy to follow, thank you!
This sequence really demonstrated the principle of how the constrictor is formed and how the two 'bars' shields over the half hitch
Great teaching.
August Hunicke Agree! 👍 He even shows the anatomy of the knots. Great!
Thank you for the instruction! Great post!!
Well articulated. Excellent instruction.
Wonderful description and illustration. Thank you.
sweet! thank you very much for clear and interesting instructions, on a skill that saves peoples lives.
I use the single constrictor often but now, I will using the double as my “go to “ knot.
If i have been tying this correctly, then i found one weakness in the knot. The part that goes under the 2 parallel loops will undo it if you pull on the side where it goes over the bar. This also works on the normal constrictor knot too.
Edit: This doesnt really matter because it will not untie under any other circumstances, but if you want a way to undo it quickly i am fairly certain that this will work.
This is a great knot for tieing in a peep sight on a compound bow.
Would this work for tying a knot for hand made brooms? (where the material underneath isn't solid, but organic - like pine needle brooms)?
Excellent explanation of a very intricate knot!
tiring a metal ring to a metal sailboat steering wheel. would this knot be secure using spectra?
nice! now i know what to do with the other side of the noose
Best tutorial
Excellent clearcut instructions, thanks!
SWEET !! 🧡💛🧡
Very nice to know
the dbl fig 8 hitch can be tied much the same with 4 turns instead of 3
බොහොම හොද පැහැදිලී කිරිමක්
What is the defference between the Double Constrictor knot and the Boa Knot? Are there any and what is the difference? If you know, pleas let me know.
What kind of constricting knot that you can easily untie could you make?
Thanks a knot!!…..Good video.
Very easy to follow.Works great.
Excellent tutorial..Very concise.
Excellent!
Is there any difference with the original constrictor knot in terms of reliability and effectiveness?
Wooo! One of my favorite knots. I already know how to tie it so why am I watching this... Because! Knots are great.
it's a great knot. thanks for the good description
Great info to know thank you !!
Great voice, great videos, very helpful.
Great knot.
Would like to see how you do the double constrictor on a bight.
Do we have a tripple constrictor knot?
I absolutely love this not. Why would you ever do a clove hitch when you know this one. This and the constricor are my 2 favourites
As common sense as two nails instead of one....
...oddly enough never thought of it.
Cool thanks ..never seen or heard of it in a double..
how strong is it? can it support body weight?
Please tie it on the same bar in the bight! Thank you and good video
So it's the same as a normal constrictor knot with an extra loop ?
Thank you so much
My neck is a little too thick for the double constructor so I'll just have to practice the normal one.
Awesome!!
This know is used to replace hose clamps. Pull it really tight, and it will never come undone. You _will_ have to cut it.
Legend has it that the _triple_ constrictor knot was the one Alexander the Great had to undo with a sword.
thank you
What you call 'bars' are really called riding turns. They ride on top of the overhand knot beneath. Most people just push the free end up through the 'X' (under all turns) to make the overhand knot.
There’s always one isn’t there! 😂. Keep up the great work Knotsman - luckily you’re not most people!!
Only part of the knot is doubled so we call that a false double, yes great knot and less bulky than the true doubled or boa.
That is a manly knot!
Edit: I’ve been considering this knot for several years and I must say it’s not just ‘manly, it’s double manly😉.
I found that if you put a bite on the end of this knot it comes undone. It's when you go through the last original loop that you add the bite. I haven't tied it to a car or anything, but with a good tug it pops right off. Wording.... Thanks for the vid. :)
What about a double constrictor knot tied with a material that expands .
EXACTLY 💯
nicely nicely
Very good.
Thanks Very clear as aways
In fact we can make it a triple quadruple 5 6 etc just what i was looking for
Thanks again friend....
one even more insane is the double figure 8 hitch.... four turns ..
awesome vid.
Now this is tricky devil to undo.
This is the same way I all ways tie the knot
Rolling hitch?
Wish somebody would do this freehand without a rod
Came for the knot, stayed for the "I like you all" lol
👏👏👏👍
Are there any rhymes to remember this knot?
He tied it as a lefty
I know tham all
Can you please show us how to tie the triple constrictor knot lol...
I must be an idiot because i can't understand this at all
Anaconda knot
Nope
