It is said that sailors would secure their belongings in a [[ditty bag]] using the thief knot, often with the ends hidden. If another sailor went through the bag, the odds were high the thief would tie the bag back using the more common square knot, revealing the tampering, hence the name. ~~[[Image:thief_knot_steps.png\|thumb\|none\|Tying the thief knot step-by-step]]~~ == External links ==▼ ▲==External links== * [http://www.geocities.com/roo_two/reefknot.html The Reef Knot Family] [[deda:~~Diebesknoten~~Tyveknob]] [[es:Nudo del ladrón]] [[fi:Varkaansolmu]] [[fr:Nœud de voleur]] [[it:Nodo piano]] [[nl:Dievenknoop]]
