49. Flemish Bend

Also known as: Flemish Knot, Figure 8 Bend

Popular among climbers and sailors, the Flemish Bend is two intertwined or
“threaded” Figure 8 Knots (also known as Flemish Knots) tied in ropes of
equal diameter. It’s difficult to untie in natural fiber, but easy enough in
slipperier synthetic.

Uses: static rigging
Pros: more secure than most sheet bends

Cons: difficult to untie in natural fiber rope; only for ropes of equal diameters
