9 years of rope rescue, never heard this called a tape knot. How does this differ from a water knot aside from the safety knots? I’ve always known this as a water knot. Great photos though.

I apologise,I made this call only after looking at the final knot in which it is being pulled tight therefore distorting the knot. Please delete my post

Hiya, found this while googling to find instructions for the water knot. This does not appear to be a water knot as they usually end up as a right angle (as in there is a 45 degree angle between entry and exit on either side).

I think another name for this is the “water knot”
