Anti bowline

is a knot that creates a loop in the end of a rope. ⁣
⁣
this kind of bowline is more secure and can be used in situations where the regular bowline could shake loose.⁣

Double sheet bend

this bend is mainly used to join two ropes of different diameters. ⁣
⁣
the sheet bend is related in structure to the bowline - like the bowline, it has a tendency to work loose when not under load. ⁣ ⁣
⁣
the thicker rope should be used for the simple bight.⁣

Dragon loop

this knot creates a very good end of rope loop. ⁣
⁣
the double dragon works good with slippery ropes like dyneema and is less prone than the bowline to shake loose. ⁣
⁣
it’s easy to tie and safe. ⁣

Square and Thief knot

The thief knot resembles the square knot except that the free ends are on opposite sides. The thief knot is much less secure than the already insecure reef knot.

Water bowline

this knot is designed for use in wet conditions where other ones may slip or jam. ⁣
⁣
it is a stable knot that is fairly easy to tie and to inspect. the extra half hitch, forming a clove hitch, provides a more secure grip on the tail end.⁣

Alpine butterfly knot

also known as lineman's loop, butterfly knot or lineman's rider.⁣
⁣
this knot is used to form a fixed loop in the middle of a rope. ⁣
⁣
it’s is an excellent mid-line rigging knot; it handles multi-directional loading well and has a symmetrical shape that makes it easy to inspect. ⁣
⁣
in a climbing context it is also useful for traverse lines, some anchors, shortening rope slings, and for isolating damaged sections of rope.⁣

farmer's loop

this knot is very useful when you want to make a loop in a rope away from the ends.

with this loop, you can create a handhold or you can attach tools and other objects.

You can also tie farmer’s loops to take up slack in a line or isolate a bad section of a rope.

it is similar in that way to the alpine butterfly knot.

angler's loop

aka perfection loop - it is quite secure but it jams badly and is not suitable if the knot will need to be untied. ⁣
