Harness Bend
The harness bend is a general purpose bend knot used to join two ropes together. The knot can be tied under tension and will not capsize. Tying The harness knot is essentially one half hitch and one crossing hitch each made by one of the two joined ropes, around the other ropes body. The ends get caught in between the two ropes and these two hitches, at the elliptical eye in the middle of the knot. There are two other variants to this bend: a double harness bend with ends pointing in opposite directions, and a double harness bend with parallel ends i.e. with ends pointing in the same direction. The starting side of one of the hitches has to be different, in order to have the ends approach the elliptical eye in the middle, from the prescribed direction.

Bend Knot
A bend is a type of knot used to join two lengths of rope. Bends are used in a variety of situations, including climbing, sailing Sailing employs the wind—acting on sails, wingsails or kites—to propel a craft on the surface of the ''water'' (sailing ship, sailboat, raft, Windsurfing, windsurfer, or Kitesurfing, kitesurfer), on ''ice'' (iceboat) or on ''land'' (Land sa ..., and securing loads. They are classified based on their ability to be tightened or released, their resistance to slipping, and their strength. Some common types include the sheet bend, the double fisherman's knot, and the double figure-eight bend. Bends allow two ropes to be securely joined together, enabling the combined ropes to support weight or transmit force. It is important to choose the appropriate bend for the specific task at hand, as some may be stronger or more secure than others.

Fisherman's Knot
The fisherman's knot is a bend (a knot for joining two lines) with a symmetrical structure. The fisherman's knot is also known as: angler's knot, English knot, halibut knot, waterman's knot, and true lover's knot. Properties The bend consists of two overhand knots, each tied around the standing part of the other. It is compact, jams when tightened, and the working ends can be cropped very close to the knot. It can easily be tied with cold, wet hands. Image:Spierenstich-1.jpg, 1. First overhand Image:Spierenstich-2.jpg, 2. Second overhand Image:Spierenstich-3.jpg, 3. Tighten Uses These properties are well suited to fishing, so the fisherman's knot is often used with fishing line. However it can slip when using modern nylon monofilament line, which is more slippery than historic fishing materials. If more holding strength is required, the overhand knots can be made with more turns, as in the double fisherman's knot, and triple fisherman's knot. Other knots sometimes p ...

Double Fisherman's Knot
The double fisherman's knot or grapevine knot is a bend. This knot and the triple fisherman's knot are the variations used most often in climbing, arboriculture, and search and rescue. The knot is formed by tying a double overhand knot, in its strangle knot form, with each end around the opposite line's standing part. Usage A primary use of this knot is to form high strength (round) slings of cord for connecting pieces of a climber's protection system. Other uses This knot, along with the basic fisherman's knot can be used to join the ends of a necklace cord. The two strangle knots are left separated, and in this way the length of the necklace can be adjusted without breaking or untying the strand.

Blood Knot
''Blood Knot'' is an early play by South African playwright, actor, and director Athol Fugard. Its single-performance premier was in 1961 in Johannesburg, South Africa, with the playwright and Zakes Mokae playing the brothers Morris and Zachariah. Mel Gussow"Stage: 'The Blood Knot' by Fugard" ''The New York Times'' 24 Sept. 1985. Lucille Lortel produced ''The Blood Knot'', starring J.D. Cannon as Morris and James Earl Jones as Zachariah, at the Cricket Theatre, Off Broadway, in New York City, in 1964, "launch ng Fugard's "American career." It was the first South African play performed with an interracial cast. Its Broadway premiere was at the John Golden Theatre, in 1986, with Fugard and Mokae playing the brothers as they had in the play's premiere. The play was most recently performed in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2010 as part of Mandela Day celebrations, with Michael Brando playing the lead role of Morris.

Reever Knot
The Reever Knot is a secure bend knot, bend for joining two ropes. An important attribute of the knot is that each line going in and out of the knot is clamped at two points within the knot. For this reason it is considered secure and resistant to being shaken loose when subject to intermittent loads. The Reever Knot and the Vice Versa Bend The Reever Knot is close related to the Vice Versa Bend. They only differ in the selection of which lines are used as the Knot#standing end, standing and Knot#working end, working ends of the knot. Given the structure of the knot there are three possible combinations one can use for the standing and working ends of the knot. The standing parts can be A-A, A-B, or B-B. The Reever knot results when the standing ends are selected as A-A. Selecting the standing ends as A-B results in the Vice Versa Bend.

Packer's Knot
The packer's knot is a binding knot which is easily pulled taut and quickly locked in position. It is most often made in small line or string, such as that used for hand baling, parcel tying, and binding roasts. This latter use, and its general form, make it a member of a class of similar knots known as butcher's knots.Clifford W. Ashley, ''The Ashley Book of Knots'' (New York: Doubleday, 1944), 36-38.Clifford W. Ashley, ''The Ashley Book of Knots'' (New York: Doubleday, 1944), p. 65 (# 408). Tying and variations A lightly tightened figure-eight knot is formed around the standing part of the line such that both ends emerge from the same point. Pulling on the standing part tightens the binding. After the desired degree of tension is reached, a locking half-hitch is added over the working end and pulled taut. Even without the locking half-hitch the knot will generally maintain tension while additional tying is accomplished, such as putting a second, perpendicular, wrap on ...

Figure-eight Knot
The figure-eight knot or figure-of-eight knot is a type of stopper knot. It is very important in sailing, rock climbing and caving as a method of stopping ropes from running out of retaining devices. Like the overhand knot, which will jam under strain, often requiring the rope to be cut, the figure-eight will also jam, but is usually more easily undone than the overhand knot. The stevedore knot is an extension of simple figure-eight knot with an additional turn before the end is finally tightened. Different types Figure-eight loop The figure-eight loop is used like an overhand loop knot. This type of knot can be used in prusik climbing when used in conjunction with a climbing harness, a climbing rope, and locking carabiner designed for climbing, to ascend or descend with minimal equipment and effort. Figure-eight bend The figure-eight bend knot is used to "Rope splicing, splice" together two ropes, not necessarily of equal diameter. This knot is tied starting with ...

Corned Beef Knot
The corned beef knot is a binding knot usually made in small line or string. It gains its name by often being used for binding the meat of the same name while it is being cooked. Since corned beef shrinks during cooking, the knot needs to be tightened several times during the process. Tying A buntline hitch is tied to the standing part and moderately tightened. The binding itself is tightened as the meat cooks by sliding the buntline hitch on the standing part. The knot is finished by a half hitch around the ''working end'' only after the meat has fully shrunk. It is considered more secure and suitable for this task than the related packer's knot.Clifford W. Ashley, ''The Ashley Book of Knots'' (New York: Doubleday, 1944), 37-38.

Buntline Hitch
The buntline hitch is a knot used for attaching a rope to an object. It is formed by passing the working end around an object, then making a clove hitch around the rope's standing part and taking care that the turns of the clove hitch progress ''towards'' the object rather than away from it. Secure and easily tied, the buntline hitch will jam when subjected to extreme loads. Given the knot's propensity to jam, it is often made in slipped form. History Simple and effective, the buntline hitch dates to the age of sail, when it was used to secure buntlines to the foot of the sailsBrion Toss, ''Chapman's Nautical Guides: Knots'' (New York: Hearst Marine Books, 1990), 39.Clifford W. Ashley, ''The Ashley Book of Knots'' (New York: Doubleday, 1944), 310. on square-rigged ships.

Bowline
The bowline () is an ancient and simple knot used to form a fixed loop at the end of a rope. It has the virtues of being both easy to tie and untie; most notably, it is easy to untie after being subjected to a load. The bowline is sometimes referred to as ''king of the knots'' because of its importance. Along with the sheet bend and the clove hitch, the bowline is often considered one of the most essential knots. The common bowline shares some structural similarity with the sheet bend. Virtually all end-to-end joining knots (i.e., bends) have a corresponding loop knot. Although the bowline is generally considered a reliable knot, its main deficiencies are a tendency to work loose when not under load (or under cyclic loading), to slip when pulled sideways, and the bight portion of the knot to capsize in certain circumstances. To address these shortcomings, a number of more secure variations of the bowline have been developed for use in safety-critical applications, or by s ...

Sheet Bend
The sheet bend (also known as weaver's knot and weaver's hitch) is a bend knot. It is practical for joining lines of different diameter or rigidity. It is quick and easy to tie, and is considered so essential it is the first knot given in the '' Ashley Book of Knots''. Additionally, it is one of the six knots given in the International Guild of Knot Tyers' Six Knot Challenge, along with the clove hitch, bowline, reef knot (square knot), round turn and two half-hitches, and sheepshank. The sheet bend is related in structure to the bowline; like the bowline, it has a tendency to work loose when not under load. For increased security, it is sometimes recommended that one add another turn in the smaller end, making a double sheet bend; in most cases, however, a single sheet bend should suffice. The becket hitch is another structurally similar knot. As a bend, its advantages lie in its simplicity and non-jamming properties. It is commonly taught in Scouting. Definition A ...

List Of Bend Knots
A list is a set of discrete items of information collected and set forth in some format for utility, entertainment, or other purposes. A list may be memorialized in any number of ways, including existing only in the mind of the list-maker, but lists are frequently written down on paper, or maintained electronically. Lists are "most frequently a tool", and "one does not ''read'' but only ''uses'' a list: one looks up the relevant information in it, but usually does not need to deal with it as a whole". Lucie Doležalová,The Potential and Limitations of Studying Lists, in Lucie Doležalová, ed., ''The Charm of a List: From the Sumerians to Computerised Data Processing'' (2009). Purpose It has been observed that, with a few exceptions, "the scholarship on lists remains fragmented". David Wallechinsky, a co-author of '' The Book of Lists'', described the attraction of lists as being "because we live in an era of overstimulation, especially in terms of information, and lists help ...
