6_1 is also known as "Stevedore's Knot" (see e.g. [1]), and as the pretzel knot P(5,-1,-1).

6_1 is a ribbon knot (drawings by Yoko Mizuma):

6_1 has two slice disks, by Scott Carter
Scott Carter notes that 6_1 bounds two distinct slice disks. He says: "this was spoken of in Fox's Example 10, 11, and 12 in a Quick Trip through Knot Theory ... BTW, the cover of Carter and Saito's Knotted Surfaces and Their Diagrams contains an illustration of such a slice disk". A picture is on the right.
