HUNTER'S
BEND

This knot takes its name
from its inventor who
discovered it in 1978. It
has an excellent grip
and is very stable, and it
is also very easy to
untie. Its uses are
similar to those of the
sheet bend but it is
bulkier.
Method
Form an overhand knot
without pulling it tight
and place it vertically.
Take the end of the
second rope and pass it
through the eye of the
turn to form a loop (1).
Pass the end behind the
standing part and insert
it into the upper loop of
the overhand knot, then
through its own loop
(2). Pull the two ends,
which should protrude
laterally from their
respective knots. Pull
the standing parts to
tighten the knot fully 2
(3).
