Shouldn't it be mentioned that this knot can jam?(I think?) Dark567 01:31, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Ashley calls this a barrel knot, but mentions that is is "called Blood Knot by Keith Rollo" (p. 259); Ashley calls a different knot the blood knot, namely the double overhand knot when used on whips etc. Usually, Ashley is a good reference for knots, and in addition there seems to be no ambiguity about thich knot is the barrel knot, so I'm tempted to move the article to barrel knot (obviously leaving a redirect from blood knot, and mentioning both names in the article). On the other hand, previous users don't seem to have seen a necessity to move it. So I'm curious about others' views, if possible also indicating references.

I agree that the knot and article should be named consistent with Ashley unless common usage today is known to be dominated by an alternative name. I don't have a copy of ABOK or I'd straighten this out myself. I recommend you go ahead and make the names consistent with ABOK. And add the ABOK number to the info box.

The photo is indeed incorrect. It shows the next to the last stage of tying the knot but it is unfinished. The cord must be pulled firmly in both directions now, forming a very attractive "barrel" shape which has inverted upon itself, leaving the short ends buried from where they exit the knot.
