Fisherman's Bend

| Thanks to Charles Livingston for informing us about this knot.
Thanks again for helping to make this site one of the best around! "Fisherman's bend, or anchor bend, an specially strong and simple knot that will not jam or slip under strain and can be untied easily. When not under strain, however, the fisherman's bend may slip loose if the free end is not secured. The knot is used to attach a rope to a ring, hook, or other solid object, such as an anchor." |
