Bends
A bend is the generic term used to describe a knot that joins together
two lengths of rope. It should be capable of being untied relatively
easily, except when it is tied in fine line. The bends in this section
range from the general-purpose (such as the sheet bend) to
specialized anglers’ knots (such as the mono braid bend and the nail
knot).
