I'm pretty ignorant about knots, but is there any specific reason the hangman's knot isn't listed? Perhaps I'm just unable to find it? In case its not included

In case its not included at all - I realize the knot has macabre associations, but a site aiming to be an encyclopedia of knots should in my opinion include every knot there is, good or bad alike.
- williamscales 7y agoI believe this knot is similar, but not quite the same: https://www.animatedknots.com/uni-knot https://www.animatedknots.com/uni-knot. The site also has the noose knot which can be extended to create a hangman's knot: https://www.animatedknots.com/noose-knot https://www.animatedknots.com/noose-knot There is some discussion on the noose knot page that indicates the hangman's knot is deliberately not included in the encyclopedia. The site doesn't give a reason for not including it. I agree it should be included in an encyclopedia of knots. Any knot can be dangerous if you put it around your neck.
