Talk:Binding (knot)

friction vs ...
''...divided into two types. Friction knots are held in place by the friction between the windings of line. Knotted-ends knots are held in place by the two ends of the line being knotted together.'' Doesn't knotting the line-ends together also work by friction of the line on itself? I can't tell what the article means by the distinction, nor whether the distinction is widely acknowledged. Anyone got something to add on this? 124.168.215.181 (talk) 03:30, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
