The Tuckahoe knot: a secure locking slip knot.
We describe a simple and easy-to-tie knot that can slide and lock. The benefit of these characteristics is that when the knot is seated and locked, it is secure in that it will not slip before the 3 reversed half-hitches with alternating posts are placed.
