Abstract
A hand-held rope tie is operable to releasably hold one or more portions of a rope. Pivotally connected arm members accommodate and hold the rope portions with a selected clamping pressure. The rope tie is adjustable to tightly grip and clamp onto the rope without slippage of the rope through the arms when desired.

A tie for securing a line comprising:
- a first arm member,
- a second arm member pivotally connected to the first arm member,
- the first and second arm members movable together adapted to clamp onto a line positioned around a tie site, the line having one or more portions located between the first and second arm members, and
- a resilient lever member attached to the first arm member,
- the lever member engageable with the second arm member to releasably hold the first and second arm members in a closed clamped position in engagement with the one or more portions of the line preventing movement of the line through the first and second arm members.
