Old, New Screw Eye Knot?

Jim (K'Tesh) asked on TRF,
"Sorry to string you along... Anybody know what the name of the knot Mike Fisher (Binder Design) recommends for connecting his shock cords to the eye bolts?"




My response:
I also thought it might be the Improved Clinch.
Binder has the end go through one of the three center winds instead of the larger loop on the outside.

Finishing up through the center makes the tails end up parallel.
The Duncan Uni is another cinch knot that leaves the tails both facing down.


If you haven't yet, Give Mike's knot (shown above) or the Duncan Uni knot (Click HERE) a try when tying the shock cord to the screw eye. 
With both ends facing down and away from the screw eye there is less chance of the loose tail end getting caught between the nose cone shoulder and body tube.
