Adjustable Grip Hitch
Perfect for adjusting tension in guy lines, tarpaulin tie-downs, etc.
This knot slides along the standing end.
When tension is applied it locks into place.

I think this is also known as a Blake's hitch. Very useful. Although I find it easier to remember how to tie a prussik hitch, which has the same function.
