    I've never conducted an official test, but have used the tool many times. Never had the knot fail........

    I always show an interest in these knot type threads. I have watched with great interest Knot Wars here: http://www.fishingclub.com/ExtraCont...ntentHome.aspx

    Knots are more than which one is the strongest. For me I have to tie it in dim light, with very cold hands too. Just because I can do it at the tying desk doesn't mean I can do it fast while the fish are feeding right infront of me at 11 pm and and cold. I really thought about using the nail knot to nail knot instead of a blood knot, but it is so hard to stop using a double surgeons when it is so fast and easy and is good nuff.

    Where would one find information on this Tie-Fast Gryp-Knot? Sounds interesting

    interesting...Personally, I just don't like carrying extra stuff around. I have been using uni-knots (similar, but not quite the same) for a lot of my fly tying applications. never had one of those fail & they are really quick and easy to tie with cold wet fingers.

    If you carry clippers, you can get a much smaller version that combines a tye-fast tool, clippers and file.
