Hello,
Could it be that the slip knot is largely identical to the traditional hangman's knot, except that the slip knot
has significantly fewer wraps (1-2) than the hangman's knot (12-13 or more wraps)?
Here is the slip knot:
Here is the traditional hangman's knot (Wikipedia):
If my assumption is correct:
- Why is it advantageous to use fewer wraps? Apparently, the noose tightens faster/better?
(I have already gathered from the collection threads that slipknots and nooseknots are better suited for strangulation than a traditional hangman's knot, and I accept this).

Many thanks and best regards,
Suizident
