==External links== There are several other different knots commonly known as the surgeon knot. The knot shown here is not one that I have encountered before. Here are some examples in common use:

• http://www.flymartonline.com/article211.html
• http://www.killroys.com/knots/surgeon.htm

There are also knots referred to as a surgeons loop, useful for creating a loop in a fishing line, for example:

...and the double surgeons knot or surgeons join knot:

I moved the above section off the article page to here because of the first-person comment, and because some of the external links added may not meet the criteria of Wikipedia's exsternal links guideline. -- Donald Albury 00:19, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
