Simple. It is a worthless knot.
For what ever you want to use it for there is a better one for it.
Want a fast to loop knot = "Bowline"
Want a knot permenent loop knot = "bowstring" or " tugged double verhand"
Life secure = doubled eight


In " A fresh approach to Knotting work" from Charles Warner there is a
paragraph on design knots. It covers all bowline varaints of a definde
class. Only a few of them have names. The rest does not simply because
they are bad knots.
