    Another option is to just use the cover, full length bury between the eyes with gradual tapers

    Most parallel strand splices would make long, stiff legs. Could take strands out and replace with a dyneema, or Vectran hollow braid core, Samson’s Tuck Bury splice makes it easy to do covered eye hitch cords. Can also use a stopper knot in back, gives shortest legs, and acts as a tender. Black...

    Fid Size vs Rope Size

    The cover and core are probably 50/50 of the diameter, a 5/16”, or 8mm tubular fid should work, use the smallest one possible as long as the core or cover, separately, can be stuffed inside the fid.

    The creamy yellow cord is Sterling’s 6.8mm RIT 900, a single braid that flattens to be more like webbing. I’ve used locked brummels before, but the Kevlar-like, Twaron has a dubious past when used as a hitch cord. Adding a 3mm dyneema core turns it into the cover instead, still works very...

    I tried to stiffen some cord up enough, but at the time wasn’t successful, put some cover on a non welded steel d ring instead. Recently came up with a way by bringing the ends inside itself to the middle, add as many twisted strands as possible, and sew the ends together.

    Looks like Icetail.

    New multicender? AC SULU GO

    Yes, it arrived a few days ago. It works great for what it is intended for, follows the climber, grabs reliably, and can descend at any time. The clamping action, instead of a cam, allows brake hand free descending. I don’t see it being used in tree work, you would set a fixed line as usual...

    First you want to change the name of the hitch I came up with, and now you want to give the name of my hitch to another???

    TomatoTomahto- I read this as what Richard wants Richard takes. Your second paragragh is sweet, but actually just a not too subtle attempt to use the role reversal tactic of making your self look like the good guy. You have brought this on by yourself.

    The video of Jesse tying the hitch is the Arbsession, not the Knut H, so which looks more like the Knut H, from the drawings above, the Knut, or the Arbsession?

    I’ll give you the same respect that you are showing me, deflection.

    No, it’s the Knut H, you are the only one calling it a Modified Catalan. There is no Catalan now as it was shown to be the same as the much earlier Arbsession. You claim the Knut H doesn’t resemble the Knut, but looks more like the Catalan, or Arbsession, now. Side by side below. The hitch...

    Hitch Question

    The Catalyon is to the Arbsession as the Michoacán is to the Petroacan. Naming a hitch something different, that has simply been rotated 180 degrees, seems to take credit away from the originator of the hitch.

    Break test results of various rigging slings constructed of 12 strand hollow braid

    Perhaps it wasn’t milked, or pulled tight, before wrapping around the bollard.

    10mm lanyard options

    A few more suggestions, left to right: Rougarou, Maxim’s dynamic rope 10.2mm Glider, “9mm” Canyon Elite, and KMIII Max comes in a 10mm.

    10mm lanyard options

    Canyon Elite from Maxim stay flexible, and still has technora in the cover for heat and cut resistance. They claim it is 9mm, but it slightly larger than 10mm.

    Ultra sling vs deadeye: double the strength?

    A fid and a half retains 75%, no bury, generally 50%.

    Ultra sling vs deadeye: double the strength?

    No, it only takes one and a half fids of bury of half the core, the other half gets tucked along the outside. Possibility a class I wouldn’t need even that much.

    Ultra sling vs deadeye: double the strength?

    Another splice to consider is Samson’s Tuck-Bury for class II ropes. I’ve had several tested and they broke at 98 1/2%.
