ABOUT THE KNOT

What is the Boa Knot?
Developed by Peter Collingwood in 1996, the Boa Knot is a modern binding knot designed to clamp down tightly around cylindrical objects. Once tightened, this knot is virtually impossible to untie—making it ideal for permanent or semi-permanent binding tasks where security is key.

What Makes It Unique?
The Boa Knot is essentially a hybrid of the Constrictor Knot and Strangle Knot, combining the best features of both. It offers the secure grip of a Constrictor and the intertwined structure of a Strangle, making it an incredibly effective solution for utility and repair tasks.

✅ Pros of the Boa Knot:
Extremely secure and durable
Compact and neat—ideal for tight spaces
Doesn’t require access to the free end of an object

⚠️ Cons to Consider:

Very hard to untie
Not suitable for temporary or adjustable tasks
Difficult to reposition once tightened

🛠️ Applications & Use Cases:
Camping & Outdoor: Bundle tent poles, rods, or gear securely
Repairs: Hold broken parts together where glue or fasteners won’t work
Utility Work: Secure tubes or rods permanently
Woodwork or Gardening: Clamp and hold parts firmly in place
