Double Fisherman’s Knot
The Double Fisherman’s Knot, also known as the Grapevine Knot, is a type of bend knot that is used to join two ropes together. It is a very secure and strong knot that is often used in climbing, boating, and other outdoor activities. The Double Fisherman’s Knot is a good choice for applications that require a strong and secure connection between two ropes. It is also known for its ability to resist twisting and cinching, making it a reliable choice for applications where the ropes may be subject to movement or stress. It’s relatively easy to tie and it’s a bit more secure than the simple fisherman’s knot. This knot is also used to make a loop on the end of the rope, which can be used to tie a load or to tie a rope to a tree or a post. It’s also used to connect two ropes of different diameters.
- Take the two ends of the rope, one in each hand.
- Cross the two ends, with one end over the other.
- Take the end that is on top and wrap one end around both ropes two full turns.
- Pass this end back through these turns and pull tight
- Take the end that is on bottom and wrap one end around both ropes two full turns.
- Pass this end back through these turns and pull tight
- Tighten both knots by pulling on the standing end of each rope, working each knot up tight against the other.
The Double Fisherman’s knot is a very strong and durable knot that can be used for a variety of applications, making it a valuable knot to know.
