I grew up thinking there was only one knot and didn't know what it was called but I could tie it like a pro from about the age of 11 on. It was only fairly recently I discovered there is a whole world of tie knots and one I plan to try soon is the Eldridge:

I also plan to start using bow ties on some occasions so I look forward to that.

I have a bad habit of thinking the ideas I learned in my youth are the only right way to do things and I've been trying to break myself of such narrow-mindedness. I think I'd have to see this skinny end tie configuration as I've never heard of it. Then I'd have to examine myself and work out if I don't like it because it looks funny to me or if it looks funny because I'm being narrow (end of the tie) minded again.
