I can still tie a bowlin in a flash. Also a clove hitch plus a few half hitches to pull a pipe out of the ground.
I think I could still end a rope in a turks head or an eye if I sat down and figured it for a while. I don't think I could tie a merchant's knot any more - where you can give the tail a pull and the whole load comes loose. I could tie a sheep's shank still. Why I'd ever need to I don't know. Tying knots is kind of getting to be a lost art maybe.
I think this would be a crowd where a few good knots get tied still.
By now I don't need to tell you this is OT.
Know any good knots?
