skichi

Skichi is a type of Japanese knot or cord. It is used for joining or lashing objects together and is often used in various applications such as marine hardware, rigging, and climbing. The skichi is essentially a wrapped or braided cord or twine used as a means to secure or fasten materials at various points.

The construction of a skichi involves wrapping rope material, often manila or cordage, around itself and another object, thereby creating a secure hold and substantial tensile strength. This construction ensures stability against slipping even under stress loads. Various knotting techniques are applied in the creation of a skichi, and the knots are securely tied to minimize the potential for unraveling.

A skichi is widely used in diverse settings including search and rescue operations, where they are used for setting up ropes and anchors for safety lines, and in climbing when securing a rope to protect from a fall. Skichi has been found to be a reliable method in various tests, demonstrating superior strength and minimal slippage under load.

Skichis can also be applied in setup for other types of fasteners, combined with pulleys to achieve a more effective and efficient hoisting process. Consequently, the applications of skichis have a functional benefit in making miniutes and concatenating management a lot easier. For simplicity and its generally accessible design skichi could be well utilized in a multiple of rescue operations.
