Double Fisherman’s Knot (Grapevine Knot) (ABoK # 1415)
To limit abrasion and lock-in the knot, it should be tied so that when the two
knots are joined there are parallel wraps on one side and the characteristic
Xs on the other. It should be noted that one extra turn on each side before
threading the end through, forms the Triple Fisherman’s Knot.

The Water Knot (Ring Knot) (ABoK # 1412)
This bend is little used on rope; it is however a practical knot with which to
join webbing and straps, particularly if left with long tails.
The Tails can subequently be secured if needed.
The knot consists, in actual fact, of a Re-Threaded Overhand Knot.
