  • you may have answered this already but can this not be used for starter knot. Well, I know it can(ive used it a few time as one) but should it be.

  • It's really too small to be used as a starting knot properly. The forces a finishing knot is subjected to are smaller and different than those applied to a starting knot. If you use a starting clamp to start your crosses, then this knot is obviously usable as it is a finishing knot in that instance.

  • I've been using this knot for about a year and a half now and love it...and have used it with everything including gut. however, i'm going to take my certification test soon and the certifier mentioned to me that I should know a "gut knot".... that the Parnell can be used for gut but there is another knot specifically for gut.... any thoughts? thanks in advance for any advice.

  • I have no idea. I think that the double half-hitch is better for gut, personally. But, I've never heard of a gut knot...

  • can you use a parnell knot at the start and ends of mains and crosses??

  • You can use it anywhere. BUT, if you use it at the start of the crosses, you have to start with a starting clamp. This know is NOT to be used as a starting knot.

  • Great instructional video =) Thank you so much!

  • @weksa thanks!

  • @wilsongrip Yeah, the Parnell is a finishing knot.

  • When you are done stringing with the mains and crosses, do you end with this knot? Pelase reply.

  • Thank you YULitle

  • @arsy123 yes you can. It is recommended (according to kipper mate stringing guide) to keep them at 1/4 of an inch). If they are very sharp, but can blunt the end.

  • Great Video! Well done

  • is this used on both ends of the mains?

  • Can you also use these knots in badminton stringing?

  • I have no intention on stringing, messing with strings etc, but my current string job by sports authority has forced me to ask you this. Could I shorten the extra part left over of the knot, because its overly long and the end is very sharp, and scratches me when I touch my racquet.
