Bukkanó

Bukkanó is a term that refers to a specific type of knot. While the exact origin and widespread recognition of the term "bukkanó" can vary, it is often associated with maritime or practical knot-tying contexts. Essentially, a bukkanó knot is characterized by its ability to create a secure loop that can be easily adjusted or released. This makes it a versatile knot for various applications where a temporary or adaptable fastening is required. Common uses might include attaching ropes to objects, creating a handle, or securing lines for sailing or camping. The construction of a bukkanó typically involves forming a bight in the rope and then passing the working end through this bight in a specific manner to lock it in place. Its effectiveness lies in its balance of security and ease of untying, preventing it from jamming under load while still holding firm when tension is applied. Understanding how to tie a bukkanó knot can be a useful skill for anyone working with ropes.
