CHAPTERS & HIGHLIGHTS: ⏳

00:00 This skinny, symmetrical knot is the Shelby knot
00:12 Tie over your neck with the blade on the right
00:17 Flip the tie so the inseam is facing out
00:21 Making the blade about an inch longer than your right hand
00:25 Take the blade under the tail to create the neck loop
00:33 Take the blade down through the neck loop to the left
00:43 Then take the blade in front of the knot to create the front loop
00:48 Take the blade up through the neck loop and then down through the front loop
00:56 Now this is key, tighten by pulling the blade down quickly to create a dimple
That’s probably the most important step right there.

01:14 Lastly, secure the flapping tail in the keeper loop
