    Waiting on pics... Listen to them- will ya! It's sub 2mm black tight hollow braid. I was barely able to trace the string with my eyes and a pick! (And I'm too cheap and weight conscious to buy a nice camera with quality lenses).

    The foundation appears to be an overhand knot going over/under from left to right, left strand then running behind the draws from left to right in a round turn to form two consecutive half-hitches. The ends then trimmed and heated to allow them to fuse back to the main knot body with a finger (finger print noticable on one side of the fuse on mine).

    Maybe something like a taut-line hitch with the ends burned?

    It's the knot on the left.

    It appears to be a free floating unit- worked around the two parallel strings?
    which would explain the need for fusing.
    hmm. this requires thought.

    Ironically, when I received my Nano (not from this contest, but long ago), I thought that knot was a mistake. I tugged and tugged and finally took my knife out and cut it off and replaced it with a mini cordlock. It wasn't until later that I found out it was a knot with a purpose!

    I too was about half a second away from just cutting the cord when the knot shifted and the mystery was revealed

    I can't really tell from the pics, but it does look very similar to the taut-line hitch.

    Is it 2 wraps on one side and one wrap on the other side with the burned end exiting in opposite directions?

    I'm at my office right now between patients so I don't have my hammock with me. I just tied the taut-line hitch and seems to look and work in the same manner. This is probably it.

    A neat alternative to a plastic cord lock.

    OK. Here are the pictures that some of you wanted to see. Kind of hard to see, but then I am no pro photographer.
