The Thief knot resembles the Square knot at a
casual glance. Note that the ends of the Thief Knot come off opposite sides
of the knot. In the Square knot, they come off the same sides. However,
the Thief knot
has no strength whatsoever, and will slip under
tension. Try it and see!
Tip. Only use this knot for tricks. NEVER use it where life and limb are at risk.
