Used on ships and in textile mills Fisherman's Knot: strongest method of joining fine lines Surgeon's Knot: Modified from the reef knot Reef Knot: (Square Knot) : Should never be used as a bend Figure 8 Knot: a temporary knot * a "bend" is the joining of two separate ropes together Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pip Report post Posted September 25, 2007 I find the larks foot knot really useful especially with kids projects making pendands etc. To use it is dead easy, punch your hole in the leather. Fold your thong/twine in half, grab the bend in the middle and push through hole, pull through 1" and pull loose ends through the loop and pull the loop tight by pulling loose ends. Ta da, pendant stays facing front. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
