This handle knot is actually a modified sheep shank where the two wooden beads occupy the two outermost of the three loops used in this knot. I used to close the knot with a fisherman's knot on the stay side. I found that this rubbed too much while slinging and that without the fisherman's knot on top, this beaded handle is much more comfortable. Always innovating so you can... slingmoore.
