Stevedore's Knot

The stevedore's knot is the 6-crossing prime knot . It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as KnotData["Stevedore"].

It has braid word . It has Arf invariant 0 and is not amphichiral, although it is invertible. It is a slice knot (Rolfsen 1976, p. 225).

The Alexander polynomial , BLM/Ho polynomial , Conway polynomial , HOMFLY polynomial , and Jones polynomial  of Stevedore's knot are

			(1)
			(2)
			(3)
			(4)
			(5)

Surprisingly, the knot 09-046 shares the same Alexander polynomial with the stevedore's knot. However, no knots on 10 or fewer crossings share the same BLM/Ho polynomial or Jones polynomial with it.
