SQUARE KNOT The square knot is one of the very useful splicing knots for joining ropes of the same diameter. In ancient times it was known as the "knot of Hercules" for its characteristic strength and has been used in weaving for its ability to remain flat. BOWLINE ON A BIGHT Extremely reliable traction knot, useful for a variety of applications. The most classic is to double the resistance of a weak cable in the case of a particularly heavy use, such as a mooring in particularly bad weather conditions. SHEEPSHANK The sheepshank is a simple knot handy for temporarily shortening a rope. Because of its low resistance it is also used to recover slack. It is made by looping a double ring in the rope and tying a half knot at each end. CARRICK BEND The Carrick bend, also known as a sailor's armor, is a knot used to join two ropes. It is especially appropriate for very heavy ropes or cables that are too large and stiff to be easily formed into other common twists.
