               Broach bend




               This knot is clearly inspired by the approach of


               the zeppelin bend and others – except that it uses
               interlocking figure-eights instead of overhand knots.


               Think  of  it  as  a  pair  of  figure-eights  with  the  final
               tuck made in the opposite knot. It is a secure way of

               joining medium-sized lines without risk of jamming.






























                                       1  Interlock a pair of overhand loops.
