  3. Double overhand knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_overhand_knot

    The result is slightly larger and more difficult to untie. It forms the first part of the surgeon's knot and both sides of a double fisherman's knot. According to The Ashley Book of Knots, "A double overhand knot tied in a cat-o'-nine-tails is termed a blood knot." [4] When weighted, it can be difficult to untie, especially when wet. [5] [6]

  4. Harness bend - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harness_bend

    The double harness bend is an unfinished Fisherman's knot (or even a Double fisherman's knot): the end needs to go through its own half hitch (twice) to form a (double) overhand knot. The double harness bend is an unfinished Blood knot: The half hitches need to take one or several turns around both ropes before going through the eye in the middle.

  5. Double bowline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bowline

    The double bowline is one of the typical tie-in knots used in climbing, along with the figure eight follow through [3] [4] and the Yosemite bowline. [5] The advantage of the double bowline over the figure 8 is that it is easier to untie after being weighted in a fall, [3] [4] and so is used by sport climbers who take multiple lead falls and then have trouble untying their figure eights.

  6. Borromean rings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borromean_rings

    The vertical dotted black midline is a Conway sphere separating the diagram into 2-tangles. In knot theory, the Borromean rings are a simple example of a Brunnian link, a link that cannot be separated but that falls apart into separate unknotted loops as soon as any one of its components is removed. There are infinitely many Brunnian links, and ...

    The goals of the organization are to promote research and act as a source of reference and consultation on knots and knotting, preserve traditional techniques and promote an interest in the public, among others. [3] Unlike a traditional guild no level of expertise is required for membership, only an interest in knotting. [4]

  8. Water bowline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_bowline

    The water bowline is a type of knot designed for use in wet conditions where other knots may slip or jam. Although similar in finished appearance to the double bowline, the water bowline is formed with a clove hitch as the loop in the standing part of the rope. This is similar to the double bowline, which puts the running end through a round ...

  9. Hunter's bend - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter's_bend

    It consists of interlocking overhand knots, and can jam under moderate strain. It is similar to the Zeppelin bend. When assessed against other bends in stress tests using paracord, it was found to be "not as strong as the blood knot, similar to the reverse figure of eight and stronger than the fisherman's bend, sheet bend or reef knot".
