The alpine butterfly makes a loop in the middle of a rope that can be pulled in any direction without slipping, and it unties after being loaded, which almost no other knot manages. Climbers use it for exactly that combination.
The model is extremely light at 1,160 polygons and 1,178 vertices, built at subdivision level with non-overlapping UVs, so it smooths cleanly at any scale. It carries CheckMate Lite and Pro certification.
At $29 it suits climbing and outdoor education, technical illustration, equipment marketing, instructional material, game props and editorial work. On sale since 2021.
