The Hangman's Noose is a type of knot traditionally used in executions by hanging. It is designed to tighten under load, making it effective for this purpose. The knot is characterized by its loop, which can be adjusted to fit around the neck of the condemned person. This knot has historical significance and is often associated with the practice of capital punishment. While it is primarily known for its use in executions, the Hangman's Noose is also utilized in various outdoor activities, such as fishing and climbing, due to its secure grip and ease of tying.
