I have made some soft shackles both ways and a section of the same line with eye splices on each end. I intend to pull on it until something breaks. I want to find out which of these soft shackles is stronger, or if they are both stronger than the line they are made of. I will post my results. In the mean time, I made a "how to" page including an animated gif on how to tie a diamond knot. I hope someone finds it useful for all the work it took.
