An improved button shackle (2) and method of making the same. The button shackle (2) generally comprises a single length of braided rope (3) noosed at one end by looping one end of the rope and running it back through itself, such that the end passes through the braids, to form a noose. The two ends of the rope are then woven together to form an eye, and a novel two-piece button (4) is inserted onto the eye. The two-piece button includes an inner disk (12) formed with opposing yokes (22, 24) for receiving the rope (3), and an outer collar (14) for holding the rope (3) captive once inserted into the yokes (22, 24). |
