Pretty fair facsimile, but it ain't the real thing and I wouldn't
trust it.

Me neither - at first. I've used it now the last two years running and it works
great.

Different strokes ...

I tied up a couple dozen of these last night, .021, .019, .017, 4 turn,
5 turn, 6 turn, and I wouldn't trust any of them. That knot just doesn't
seem to grab the fly line and seat as well a real nail knot.
