Gordian Knot

What was the Gordian knot?

Q: How to tie a honda? A: Start with a single crown knot, tied and melted (see our other post). Measure down about four hand lengths. Tie an overhand knot leaving it open enough to push your single crown knot back through. Shape and tighten by hand. Then you’ll need a way to pull it tight. **Use caution** pulling a rope too tight / too hard / too far can ruin the rope and/or it can break. | Cowboy Cordage Inc.
