I just did a very non technical test on that knot. I tied it leaving me
with a loop 15 lb. test mono. I stuck a screw drive handle in each end
of the loop and pulled. It snapped at the knot every time. I did the
same test with a 5 turn blood knot. It also snapped at the knot, but
with a significantly higher tension needed. I realize this is about as
basic of a test as you can get, but the difference was enough, that I
could easily feel it.

An easy way to get an objective comparison between knots is to tie both
knots in one strand of tippet and pull to failure. That's what I did to
compare this knot with a double Surgeon's. The Surgeon's won. (One trial.)
