I've been practicing a new knot lately while I wait for my Jekyll to Hyde backspacer to arrive for my new-to-me large Sebenza 31 Natural Micarta. This one's from Tim at WoE and is his Wide Diamond which I find much simpler to tie than the Double Diamond and a bit less bulky too. When I snagged my knife off the Exchange I ordered some new cord and a couple nat Micarta beads--one small, one large--along with the backspacer, a CRK slip, and some new cord. This one is Vibration, a red/yellow combo that looks kinda orange at arm's length, with the large bead and two Wide Diamonds, just for practice. The key for this one to look good, as with any large knot, seems to be the patience not to over-tighten when getting the slack out.
Gotta learn this. Any good YT tutorials you know on the wide diamond knot?
