Ashley reference?

[edit]

I'm a bit confused by the currently Ashley reference here. It refers to Ashley #1239, which can indeed be found on page 224, but even if this is a reference to the same knot as the DONK, it is only mentioned as an aside in the "strangle knot" section. Wouldn't a more appropriate Ashley citation be Ashley #409, the Poacher's Knot, on page 65? See also: Animated Knots - Poacher's Knot Ho0ber (talk) 14:24, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Barrel knot"

[edit]

The names and ABOK references listed here today seem accurate, but in modern terminology I hear this knot (and the stopper version) almost exclusively called the "barrel knot", e.g., try a Google Image search for "barrel knot".

Today, there is already a "Barrel hitch" article in WP, and "Barrel knot" redirects to "Blood knot", an unrelated bend. I'm not suggesting any particular course of action -- I don't know what to do about knots which have inconsistent nomenclature. I do find it hard to find this page when I'm looking for it, though. 2601:602:A080:1240:C367:290D:9405:2A82 (talk) 17:42, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
