Ashley stopper knot

The Ashley stopper knot

The Ashley stopper knot is developed by Clifford W. Ashley, the writer of the famous book "The Ashley Book of Knots". It is an easy to tie stopper knot that gives a good resistance. The Ashley stopper knot is not only easy to tie, but it is also very secure. On top of that, it is bulkier then most other (simple) stopper knots, and it offers great pulling resistance.
