Thestrangle knot is a simplebinding knot. Similar to theconstrictor knot, it also features anoverhand knot under ariding turn. A visible difference is that the ends emerge at the outside edges, rather than between the turns as for a constrictor. This knot is a rearrangeddouble overhand knot and makes up each half of thedouble fisherman's knot.
The strangle knot starts with around turn and the end is stuck under two parts. It may be used to tie up a roll. It can only be tied around a cylindrical shape. If required, a loop may be stuck instead of the end, which makes aslipped knot that is one of the best for tying up sacks and meal bags. With one or two additional turns the strangle knot makes an excellent temporarywhipping for the end of a rope.
