For some reason this keeps coming up. Just for the people who still feel that a F9 knot is easier to undoā¦ā¦ Get out of that āwe have been doing it for longerā or āEverybody does itāmindset. My teenager talks like that šš.
Have you ever tested it with equal weights and that timed undoing it?
I have yet to meet the person who has and says the F9 is easier to untieā¦..
Here is a short demonstration about how much HARDER it actually is to undo. 2 minutes vs seconds.

Ā Ā Ā ā¢Ā F8Ā VSĀ F9Ā Ā WhichĀ isĀ easierĀ toĀ untie?Ā -...Ā Ā Common heard reasons for the F9:
š It is strongerā¦
Knot strength is irrelevant in how we work. If that becomes an issue you are already way, way beyond all the safety factors. You should be taking other measures or use something like a tension less hitch or spliced eyes.
š Easier to undo
Already covered that one
š My rope is so stiff I canāt put a F8 in it.
Fair point, I have no experience with that. Get new ropes maybe? How is that risk assessment? Like I said, I have no experience with that. I would like to test some of those ropes for sure!!
PS
I donāt hate the F9. I just donāt like the wrong arguments for why you would use itā¦ And come to think of it, me personally, I canāt think of any good arguments (in 97,3% of the times)ā¦.. š.
