how well does a knot stay---or is rope slippery coated and knot unties easily ?

The outside sheathing on the rope is flexible and fairly coarse. I have not had any problems with knots loosening. This is a utility rope, not intended for climbing, rappeling. etc. I use it mostly when working up high to apply tension to branches to direct their fall after cutting. It is a good general purpose utility rope and I have used it for many things from tree work to camping to raising light loads. As always, use the proper knot for the application. Hope this helps!

I have not had to deal with this type of problem on my 'Stik', but will certainly check that the knot on the bottom of mine is secure. I would suggest calling Fiskars directly, and speaking with one of their customer service representatives about your problem. This tool is still one of my favorites, and has served me well !

I'm sure if you didn't take care of it and didn't put it away neatly after use then sure anything would tangle "easily" these are fine though. I roll them up after every use and they never tangle.

You would need to untie the knot at the end of the line and pull it taut, then retie. My clothes line has not needed this and I have had mine outside all summer in the weather. Holding up nicely. The line itself is coated and does not sag much over time.

I use the same knots as I do with monofilament, I just double up on the wraps to account for the slipperiness of the braid (eg 12-14 wraps for an improved clinch knot). Never had an issue.

I wasn't too impressed with the little rope with a knot either. I decided to tighten the knot and used one of those plastic ties (fasteners that pull tight + lock) + slipped it through the tightened knot, leaving a good sized loop that is easy to slip onto the shepherd's hook. It's been 6 months + it's been working great! So easy to take down to fill + then rehang.

I am not sure if you can wrap over existing rope as I have not done it. It seems to me that if rope is tightly wrapped and secured that it would work but I am not sure.

Its fairly wide, so I would say not super easy to tie any kind of knot. It would probably compromise some of the strength of the webbing where the knots were. Its very similar to seat belt strap material.

I have left it in place for over 2 years and it functioned fine. It is a very durable rope and professional tied knots.

They fit the rope securely and they won't slide down even when there are 2 caps on each clip (I haven't tried more than 2) but the weight or the caps pull the clip forward. When hung is a place where they won't be disturbed this isn't a problem. If they are hung some where where they are constantly bumped and brushed past we found that they could come loose.

The surface will dictate the longevity of the rope fibers. If you're using it on something soft, like grass/dirt, it will be ok. I use mine on martial arts mats, indoors. Probably the best combination for maximizing the rope's usage. The sun exposure will shorten the life of the ropes fibers, as well.

I have no problem with it slipping. Best knife I have ever owned. (I currently have 14 knives)

I'm using spider wire FluroBraid 30lb, so far it's been pretty good, a couple of wind knots but they're easy to pull apart.

Hi Mark, I only used the rope with this unit and never used the tape. Depending on what you are using it to keep out / in, I am sure the tape works well but I don't know what distance will be lost if any.

I've not had a problem with it coming undone but I use a few different type of knots

I'm 210 and as long as you tie it up well (I recommend backup knots as well) I've never had it tear or break at all.

Try their Q Knot original. I think they made Q knot "pro" to be tighter for pro use or someone need it to be more securer for heavy duty use. Anyway, their q knot original is much easier to use and you will use it to tie everything.
