You are absolutely correct! Somewhere along the line in the cowboy realm, someone started (incorrectly) calling this the Turks head even though it is a crown knot. I call it that so that other people in the cowboy world find the knot they’re looking for. I will correct it in my title though to prevent confusion.
@@StartupCowboy Thank you for preventing the confusion that is the Internet :P. I do not mind knots having many names due to the place where they got used or invented/reinvented. Just that it is nice for these knots to get standardized a bit as they are in ABOK, the go to book for knots and splices, that got complied at the very end of the Age of Sail, after which knot-work and rope-work evolution kind of stopped due to technological developments.
