Used for joining two ropes together, the Hunter’s Bend is well suited to stiff
or slippery synthetic ropes. It is a square shaped knot formed by laying the
two working ends parallel, but pointing in opposite directions, then forming
them into a loop, and turning the working ends through the loop. The bend
is then worked tight.
