sheepshank

Though the name's a little different, the Sheepshank described above is shown in Figure 79.

The sheepshank was developed before the use of modern "slippery" synthetic ropes.

To perform a kamikaze knot, a sheepshank is first constructed.

It is a good knot with which to commence a slightly fancy sheepshank.

The kamikaze knot is a slight variant of the sheepshank.

An alternative method for quickly constructing a sheepshank is as follows:

The silver one with the sheepshank on it?"

The sheepshank is a type of knot that is used to shorten a rope or take up slack.

Whilst holding sufficient tension on the sheepshank so it will not slip out, the middle rope is sliced.

A sheepshank knot may be constructed as follows: ...

"The sheepshank, the bowline, the half hitch, the monkey fist," he remembered, "Dennis knew them all."

"You do that and I'll tie a sheepshank on you, too," said Remo.

A catshank is a knot similar to a sheepshank but with an extra turn through the loops to prevent their slipping through.

However, this knot may be made secure by adding a Half Hitch by using the top bight of the Sheepshank.

He shortened the rope with a quickly knotted sheepshank and gave the agreed upon signal-three tugs on the line-to show that it was secured.

So Fafhrd put Hrissa on the rope ahead of him, knotting it to her harness with a sheepshank.

Although certainly not invented by him this variant of the sheepshank knot appeared in an episode of the TV show Man Vs Wild.

The man-o'war sheepshank is a sheepshank knot with a Handcuff knot in the middle.

The beginning of tying this knot begins with tying a Half Sheepshank, which is also known as a Bell Ringer's Knot.

SHEEPSHANK, half hitch, farmer's loop, monkey's fist.

The dogshank is a variant of the sheepshank, where the eyes formed at each end have the ends of the rope passed through them to prevent the knot from spilling.

The catshank is a variant of the sheepshank, clinched by two overhand knots with the bights passed through the twists (one end of the rope must be available to tie the overhands).

He was born the son of Joseph Sheepshanks, a Leeds textile manufacturer of the well-to-do Sheepshank family of Bilton, Harrogate and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating in 1816.

A Police task force operation sheepshank began after a report was compiled on an alleged paedophile ring at the Aboriginal community of Kalumburu, in the Kimberley resulting in arrests of three men and a juvenile from Oombulgurri.

It focuses on basic Scout training, including the six basic knots (Reef Knot, Bowline, Sheet bend, Sheepshank, Figure-of-eight, and Clove hitch), basic first aid (treatment of open wounds and bleeding), and introduces Scouts to camping.
