We prove that the group C ∼ $\widetilde{\mathcal {C}}$ of equivariant concordance directed strongly invertible knots, defined by Sakuma (On Algebraic and topological theories (Kinosaki, 1984), Kinokuniya Company Ltd., Tokyo, 1986, pp. 176–196), is not abelian. do so exhibiting an infinite family non-trivial commutators.
