new use for an old knot	3-Mar-2014 At 8:49:11 AM	TimP

This is a great knot and works well in braided line. Best thing is it's easy to undo after loading. I've used it for some pretty big static loads, not in climbing situations though. I call it the straight bend because the tying method I use comes from Brion Toss a sailboat rigger who gave it that name. I think it might have come from Ashley who developed it as a new knot to tie mohair for high speed weaving machines, it's vey close to knot 501 (glad to see Ashley's book of knots referenced on the death knot thread). I don't think its suitable to join different diameter ropes. On the clip below I also have method for tying the butterfly loop at 2:31. http://youtu.be/pNOp_zLQQ2I?t=1m21s
