Structure

The Arbor Knot is composed of two Overhand Knots jammed against each other. When tightened, the Overhand Knot at the working end tightens against the knot tied around the running line and prevents the working end from pulling through. The Arbor Knot is identical in structure to the Canadian Jam knot.
