Welcome to Slide & Grip Knots

This page shows a selection of the commonly used Slide and Grip Knots. The ability of these knots to grip securely is heavily dependent on the rope. When rope was mostly tarred hemp, they all gripped. Those days are over, and many of these knots (all?) will fail with modern slippery ropes such as Spectra®, and Dyneema® (HMPE). If you are depending on one of these knots, check the rope and the knot carefully.
