W List of Knot

Quick Release Trucker's Hitch: The Quick Release Trucker's Hitch (Wagoner's Hitch) is a slight variation of. It is based on a Bell Ringer's Knot (one end of a Sheep Shank). I am pleased to thank Tom Synovec for his description of this technique. It is the quickest way of using the Trucker's Hitch to secure a load – and also to release it.

Wall, Crown, and Manrope Knot: The Wall and the Crown are essential components of many decorative knots. Here the strands of the rope are used to tie a Wall followed by a Crown to make a ball on the rope's end.

Wall Knot: The Wall creates a small stopper knot tied using the strands of the rope. It is component of the Matthew Walker and the Manrope Knot.

Water Bowline: The Water Bowline makes a very secure loop in the end of a piece of rope. It is less likely to shake undone that the normal Bowline.

Water Knot: The Water Knot is used to join two pieces of webbing strapping. The wide area of contact between the two straps ensures a secure knot.

Sheet Bend (Becket Bend): The Sheet Bend joins two ropes of unequal size but also works well if the ropes are of the same size. It has to be tied with both ends loose in your hands with no load on the ropes.

Hasty (Emergency) Webbing Harness: The Hasty Webbing Harness is made from a length of webbing strap. It creates a temporary webbing seat for use in an emergency.

West Country Whipping: The West Country Whipping is easy to teach & learn. Overhand knots are tied back and front of the rope. The whipping is completed with a Reef Knot.

Constrictor Knot (End): The Constrictor Knot deserves to be much more widely known and used. It is an excellent quick temporary whipping for a fraying rope's end and can be used to keep a rope's end together while it is being whipped. It securely ties the neck of a sack or bag; it has been used as a temporary hose clamp; and it can used to hold items together for gluing.

Sailmaker's Whipping: The Sailmaker's Whipping is the standard against which other whippings are compared: elegant and secure, the binding turns encircle the whipping to prevent the strands from unwinding if damaged.

Common Whipping: This simple whipping technique can be done quickly. During the whipping a loop is incorporated which is used to pull the final turn into the whipping.

Whoopie Sling: The Whoopie Sling is an adjustable sling widely used by Arborists and in camping to tension a Hammock..

Windsor Necktie: The Windsor is a bulky, symmetrical Necktie Knot. Although it is tied less quickly and conveniently than the Half-Windsor or the Four-in-Hand, it does produce a pleasing, fuller appearance.

Turk's Head (Woggle): The Turk's Head makes a neat ring - most commonly employed as a slide, or woggle, for a boy scout's scarf.
