Celtic button knot

A Celtic button knot is a stopper knot on a single rope that results in a spherical decorative knot with hair braid / basket weave pattern.

See Shackle and Celtic button knot

Chinese button knot

The Chinese button knot is essentially a knife lanyard knot where the lanyard loop is shortened to a minimum, i.e. tightened to the knot itself.

See Shackle and Chinese button knot

Diamond knot

The diamond knot (or knife lanyard knot) is a knot for forming a decorative loop on the end of a cord such as on a lanyard.

See Shackle and Diamond knot

Eye splice

The eye splice is a method of creating a permanent loop (an "eye") in the end of a rope by means of rope splicing.

See Shackle and Eye splice

Friction burn

A friction burn is a form of abrasion caused by the friction of skin rubbing against a surface.

See Shackle and Friction burn

Galling

Galling is a form of wear caused by adhesion between sliding surfaces.

See Shackle and Galling

Galvanic corrosion

Galvanic corrosion (also called bimetallic corrosion or dissimilar metal corrosion) is an electrochemical process in which one metal corrodes preferentially when it is in electrical contact with another, in the presence of an electrolyte.

See Shackle and Galvanic corrosion

Halyard

In sailing, a halyard or halliard is a line (rope) that is used to hoist a ladder, sail, flag or yard. Shackle and halyard are sailing rigs and rigging.

Nut (hardware)

A nut is a type of fastener with a threaded hole.

See Shackle and Nut (hardware)

Padlock

Padlocks are portable locks usually with a shackle that may be passed through an opening (such as a chain link, or hasp staple) to prevent use, theft, vandalism or harm.

See Shackle and Padlock

Safety harness

A safety harness is a form of protective equipment designed to safeguard the user from injury or death from falling.

See Shackle and Safety harness
