Here's my list of knot bookmarks. Sorry if some are repeats of those that have already been mentioned.
I think the constrictor knot's a useful knot - more secure than the clove hitch IMO. The bowline and sheet bend are the knots I use most often. On a side note, isn't it "sheepshank" rather than "sheet shank" or are they different knots or have I just made a Schoolboy Error?

Just to confuse further, I always thought a Sheet bend joined the two unequel ropes and the sheepshank shortened a rope without cutting it....
Funny old things knots, lots of uses and almost as many names for each type! lol

Hi ya
I think it is sheet shank - as in sheets being nautical term for rope controlling a bit of sail (main sheet; jib sheet; etc) As for use - it can be either for shortening a rope or for taking the strain off of a damaged piece. Guess the 2nd came first, but it is just that - a guess

See now I'd always thought it was a sheepshank and then somebody said it was in fact a sheetshank for the very reason you said....then somebody else came on and said it was sheepbend because it had something to do with sheep......just can't seem to remember what! lol

Yep....and I'm going back to what I very originally thought before I joined bcuk and saying:
Sheet bend : for joining two unequel lines.
Sheep Shank: for shortening a rope without cutting (or by-passing a worn bit).
Lol.....
Bam.

the clipper seems a better kinfe then the original mora training knife, i had the clipper originally, which was excellent, but i took it to the "isles of scilly" and it rusted loads because of the salt in the air i guess, then i lost it, fell outta my pocket , and for some reason i decided to go stainless and bought the original mora, which seemed rather weak compared to the clipper, the blade seems to wobble, after a few sessions of splitting, which the clipper seemed fine at, im going to rehandle it at some point and buy a clipper on top of that, because i prefer carbon steel, but i go to coastal regions alot. What would be the best method of removing the handle??
Cheers,
Alex

It's not that easy Alex, i use mine as a chisel all the time and the handle's never budge.
When my last one was beyond sharpening i decided to see what the tang was like and it was very hard to remove the handle , the plastic is really tough.
In the end i ran it through the band saw.
Im almost ready for another
