How to Tie the KBK Bar by TIAT

The design of the KBK Bar literally came to me in a dream. I suppose such dreams are the product of my obsessive thoughts about fusion knots and the multitude of designs the techniques can form. That said, here's something new to play with, hope you enjoy. Video production by JD of Tying It All Together.

This looks very similar to ABOK #2468

[TyingItAllTogether]

@SicilianMafia - If you tighten up ABOK #2468 (the "Caterpillar Knot") it is a Solomon Bar, Ashley himself even states this. Put simply...the KBK Bar is not a Solomon Bar. Truth be told, there our thousands of knots between and around the knots historically known, and its high time we enjoy them. My role here is to help that process along...

this is a cool bar, though i think your dreams might have been guided by another video from youtube a few months back... a little kid made something called the "scorpion bar" and it was really good, looks just like the KBK

I believe you’re referring to what (user) “bspade4” calls a “Paracord Scorpion Stitch”. Take a closer look; the KBK Bar is different. If they were not, I’d rename the tie or provide an associated credit (as I’ve done so before) – see video for “Wide Zipper Sinnet”

Nice decorative knot. I always enjoy watching your demonstrations and the knots you come up with. Everyone tells me I am addicted to rope and knots and I love adding a new knot to my library. keep up the good work.

Thanks... (smile) If you haven’t already, you should check out my link regarding my movie. The main character has a job in the same industry as you.

Best to you and all your ties,

Does this work with a release buckle?

[Livingdeadsavior]

@ShadowGryphon I had trouble with this too. I retied the bracelet 3 times before it was the right length. Trial and error is how it worked for me.

6th complete fusion knot. JD I am totally jealous of your skills, keep it up my good man.

[ShadowGryphon]

My wife had requested I make this for her and I'm all set to make it, but I found myself at a small stand still and curious about something, and that is : how do you determine the final length and how do you determine the amount of cord needed to achieve that length ?

Anyway, I enjoy your work, the attention to detail and how well the shots are framed in your vids, they've been very helpful. Thanks

Sweet!
