It's known as the Pitzen or Sixteen-Twenty knot.  It's too good not to share!  I haven't tied an improved clinch in months and I simply love this knot.  Here are two links: Pitzen knot and Sixteen-Twenty knot.  The second link (pdf warning) is easier to follow, while the first makes a better final product,  I prefer the smaller angle created by the tag.
