Oysterman's Stopper Knot AKA Ashley's Stopper Knot - How to Tie
In this video I show three different ways of tying the Oysterman's Stopper Knot aka the Ashley Stopper Knot. This particular stopper knot makes an excellent stopper knot because when tied the knot has a large base. I have seen it said that this knot could be used for climbing, but I have to wonder if this knot should actually be used as a climbing stopper knot! I prefer to think of this stopper knot as a medium duty knot.
It is extremely easy to tie and also untie.
ABoK 526. The Oysterman’s Stopper. The discovery of this knot is described in Chapter 1, page 7. It is a larger knot than the Figure- Eight, which has but one part around the stem. The Oysterman’s Stopper Knot has three rim parts, and these are quite symmetrical when viewed from the underside. From this view it closely resembles a Three-Strand Wall Knot. The end is nipped by a single top part. It is easy to tie and practical to use when the hole that is to be filled is too large for the Figure-Eight. Having reached the position of the upper right diagram and the end being rove as indicated by the arrow, the Half Knot shown near the end in the diagram must be pulled very snug; next the end is pulled and finally the standing part. Arrange the knot so that it is symmetrical as in the left and right bottom sketches. The center bottom diagram is given merely to show the over-and-under arrangement of the knot on a symmetrical diagram form.
