  2. Timber hitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_hitch

    As the name suggests, this knot is often used by lumbermen and arborists for attaching ropes or chains to tree trunks, branches, and logs. [3] [5] For stability when towing or lowering long items, the addition of a half-hitch in front of the timber hitch creates a timber hitch and a half hitch, [6] or known as a killick hitch [2] when at sea. [7]

  3. Figure-eight knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure-eight_knot

    The result is two figure-eight knots, each partly inside the other and tightening its hold on the other when they are pulled in opposite directions. This can be a permanent or temporary splice. While it precludes the ropes' slipping relative to each other, it is a typical knot in having less strength than the straight ropes.

    Fisherman's knot – knot for joining two lines with a symmetrical structure consisting of two overhand knots, each tied around the standing part of the other; Fisherman's loop Flemish bend – knot for joining two ropes of roughly similar size; Flemish knot a.k.a. figure-eight knot, savoy knot – knot for joining two ropes of roughly similar size

  5. Fid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fid

    In addition to holding rope open to assist the creation of a rope splice, modern push fids have markings for precise measurements in a variety of sizes of rope. The length of these fids is typically 21 or 22 times the diameter of rope to be spliced. A one-half-inch (12.7 mm) diameter rope would have any accompanying fid 10.5–11 in (266.7 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_binding_knots

    A binding knot is a knot that may be used to keep an object or multiple loose objects together, using a string or a rope that passes at least once around them. There are various binding knots, divided into two types. Friction knots are held in place by the friction between the windings of line.

  7. Rope splicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_splicing

    Rope splicing in ropework is the forming of a semi-permanent joint between two ropes or two parts of the same rope by partly untwisting and then interweaving their strands. Splices can be used to form a stopper at the end of a line, to form a loop or an eye in a rope, or for joining two ropes together. [ 1 ]

  8. Reever Knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reever_Knot

    The knot provides a compact, streamlined and decorative way of joining two ropes. However its primary attribute is that it is resistant against working loose when subject to intermittent loads. [1] The security of the knot arises from the fact that at step 3 in the tying sequence the knot is a Double Harness Bend (ABoK #1420). The additional ...

  9. List of knot terminology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_knot_terminology

    A bight is a slack part in the middle of a rope, usually a curve or loop. [1] [2] Knots that can be tied without access to either end of the rope are called knots in the bight. To tie a knot with a bight is to double up the rope into a bight and then tie the knot using the double rope.
