Thanks again for the recommendation Jedi.

Thank you, it was one of my pleasant discoveries on Amazon

Another thank you for the referral to Hanging High Hammocks. Just got a couple of their soft shackles. While I do not think I will use them for controlling my sheets, they are impeccably made. I hope you can persuade him to start making for the sailing market.


I am teaching my first class on dyneema splicing and creating soft shackles and intend to use one of these as a great example for my students.

I've edited your Instructions by adding a header and footer including page number for use in our Marlinespike lessons. It also includes a link to the original.

Here is my current work on the Brion Toss Button Knot for use in teaching my lessons on Soft Shackles and UHMWPE lines.

It incorporates some of your work, retains the name for the Knot, and uses a number of screenshots from a video by HowNot2
