Our pal Louis Cahill at Gink + Gasoline posted an awesome video featuring professional leader-maker Christopher Fave tying a blood knot. Even if you consider yourself pretty good at tying blood knots, you will be blown away by Fave’s technique, which is easier and faster than anything we’ve ever seen before. This video may even convert some double-surgeon’s-knot proponents!

Wow, I have seen many tricks for tying this knot, this one looks the easiest. I will test this when I get home tonight
How Cool ! I always carry took picks anyway . Volume is just fine

Awesome ! thnx much !!
Oh HALLELUJAH! Thanks man, this knot has been kicking since day one. Fish on!
Your volume is good.
That’s cool going too have to put some tooth picks in my pack
How about speaking up, so people can hear you…. so low may as well not speak at all
Get some hearing aids !!!
I don’t hear particularly well but he was perfect. Wasn’t his fault.
Are you deaf or stupid ? Itβs called the volume button.
Wow! It looks too easy to be true.
I can hear him just fine. Might want to invest in some hearing aids. Great video! Thanks so much
I make it look so hard. Fat fingers. Frustrating. I’ll get it
I can’t find toothpicks on the Orvis website.
Where can I find these fly fishing pieces of wood?!!! Going over to check out Gink and Gasoline.

Awesome trick
Chris, I’m putting you in for the Nobel prize of knot tying…..Well Done!
Check out the Tippet knot Tim Rajeff uses that came from Lefty Kreh. It can be tyed this fast with just fingers. He shows it in a vid on YouTube.
Booyah! Picks help if you’re trying to lay off the tobacco too, for all you quitters.
Good grief. Thanks for attempting to provide a tip; but could have done a watermark right across the middle of the screen where it essentially blocks the view of the important stuff.
