Why we use a sliding knot instead of a clasp
July 27, 2026
How the sliding knot works and what to do when it loosens over time.
The sliding knot is two knots that slide along the cord. Pull them and the bracelet tightens; push them back and you can take it off. The knot has no spring or link that could open.
Salt and sun loosen the knot a little over time. When that happens, damp the cord slightly and tighten the knot with your fingers.
