Uses:
The Fisherman's Knot is simply made up of two overhand
knots. It is a very simple knot but quite effective nonetheless.
It is most used with two lines of roughly equal thickness and can be
difficult to tie with thick ropes. The Fisherman's Knot is used
quite often by anglers and climbers.
Instructions:1) Take the end of each rope and place them parallel
to each other. 2) Take the end of one rope and place it over and around
the second rope. 3) As you come around the opposite
rope, place the end
underneath itself, forming a overhand knot around the second length
of rope. 4) Repeat the procedure at the other end
using the second length of rope. 5) Now pull on each
rope so that the two overhand knots slide along the rope until they
lie against each other. 6) If you want the final knot
to be fully secure then tape the working ends of the rope down.
Notes: The Fisherman's Knot is a bend
(used to tie two ropes together). However the Fisherman's Bend is
actually a hitch (used to tie
a rope to or around an object).
