Is a Double uni knot strong?
The double Uni-Knot is formed by combining two lines, particularly those of different diameter and material, into one strong connection. The break strength of this knot is less than 100% but well over 90%. It’s strength can be raised to 100% by doubling both lines before joining the pair.
