Hunter's Bend




Hunter's bend, also known as '''rigger's Bend ''', is a knot used to secure two lines. It consists of 2 interlocking Overhand Knot s. The Knot can jam when it's pulled hard, but is usually easy to untie. Is especially good to tie two objects that have to be parallel, but do it in two places for the objects to be secure.

Hunter's bend is one of the most recent knots to be discovered. Named after Mr. Hunter, a British man who used it for years to tie broken shoelaces before discovering its originality through a friend in the 1970s, when it made national TV news.
