  Boa knot
The boa knot is a modern, binding knot invented by weaver Peter Collingwood in 1996.
His intention was to develop a knot that would hold well when the constricted object was cut close to the winds of the knot.
The boa knot is related to the strangle knot and the double constrictor knot.

Another way of thinking about this knot, or rather the relationship between this one and Hunter's Bend, is that each is formed by taking one of the differing sides of a Lineman's Loop (Ashley 1043) and duplicating it symmetrically.
If not sufficiently loose, the knot fails to capsize completely, and the intermediate form is not as strong as when completely capsized, which is according to Ashley "one of the strongest of bends".
This knot is very similar to a recently discovered knot called the Boa knot; in fact, if the bight on the left in step one, above, were of the opposite handedness, a Boa knot would result.
