Hi guys,
Do the straps on these knots seem too short?

Thanks & best regards,
Len

Len,

They seem a little short, maybe it's just the picture. By any chance, did you get these from Eban? If so, this thread might pertain:

Hi Billy,
They're being offered at auction but not on Fleabay.The one's the link you provided refer to are obvious fakes.These look good it's just the short straps that have me curious.

Regards,

I think that short straps were prevalent on war-time produced knots, probably to conserve material. However, war knots typically had gray, rather than white straps. Maybe these are early war production. These appear to be issue rather than private purchase.
