A shank is a type of knot that is used to shorten a rope or take up slack, such as the sheepshank. The sheepshank knot is not stable. It will fall apart under too much load or too little load. * The knot has several features which allow a rope to be shortened:* It provides two loops, one at each end of the knot which can be used to pass another rope through * The knot remains somewhat secure under tension; the coarser the rope the more secure it is (see Disadvantages, below) * The knot falls apart easily when tension is removed |
