Knots? Part 3

 










On the left is the Duncan (Uni) Knot tied with 135 lb, Kevlar.
Refer to the knot HERE

Looking at the animated tying instructions, you loop the line four times after making the "S".
This Kevlar tie has the four looped turns.

On the right is 1/8" elastic tied around a plastic nose cone eyelet.
The elastic is thicker than the Kevlar so I only did 3 loops before pulling it tight.
I prefer to keep the loose tail end about 1/2" long, not cut short as shown in the animation.

Both lines feel very tight and aren't going anywhere!
