How to Tie a Shibari-Style Rope Shackle

Two Knotty Boys show how to tie an adapted rope shackle to make a shibari-style single column technique for partial suspension. While slower to tie than a traditional shibari coil, this technique blends the clean symmetry and sturdiness of the TKB rope shackle with the pully-like advantage of a bight (loop) on the knot, typically used for suspension.

2:40 I know that guy. On the left. He was in my art class. He has the letter 'R' branded on his left arm, and a tattoo right under it that says REVENGE.

Creepy dude.

Hey what type of rope is used in this video?

[Knotstalgia]

@Bitemeubloodyelf 3-strand twisted hemp.

Great point, in this differing from traditional shibari, to which I've clarified the description and title. Been planning to explain this in the (as yet unfinished) voiceover update. Also, wasn't meaning to seem misleading by taking "shibari" at its literal, loose translation. But then, the California roll is still called sushi. :p

Hey guys,

You don't just have to use this kind of shackle for suspensions, right? Like I could use it for tying someone to a piece of furniture...? Thanks for the great service you're doing all us BDSM fans out there. I love learning this.
