Yep......seems like a great knot though having used the overhand many times....a toss up. Then again, I was brought up chewing on the double fisherman's. Damned me if I just can't give it up. Like a good wife, I keep going back to it again and again. Ok, bad comparison but....the double fisherman's is not the BEST knot although it is reliable:-)
Seriously though, that "change" is a tough one...for me at least. The first rap on the new knot is always the little thought in the back of the mind. The one that says, "euro death knot eh....will it REALLY hold?" Talus isn't a cozy bed to drop onto from hundreds of feet up. Reminds me of the time I switch my knot to a double bowline. Never did fail and it sure was easier to untie after resting my fat ass (note, not PHAT ass).
