According to The Ashley Book of Knots, "A double overhand knot tied in a cat-o'-nine-tails is termed a blood knot." [4] When weighted, it can be difficult to untie, especially when wet. [5] [6] The strangle knot is a rearranged double overhand knot made around an object. It is sometimes used to secure items to posts.
The double harness bend is an unfinished Fisherman's knot (or even a Double fisherman's knot): the end needs to go through its own half hitch (twice) to form a (double) overhand knot. The double harness bend is an unfinished Blood knot: The half hitches need to take one or several turns around both ropes before going through the eye in the middle.
Hitching tie – simple knot used to tie off drawstring bags that allows quick access; Honda knot a.k.a. lariat loop – loop knot commonly used in a lasso; Hoxton knot – a method of arranging a scarf about the neck; Hunter's bend a.k.a. rigger's bend – joins two lines
It consists of interlocking overhand knots, and can jam under moderate strain. It is similar to the Zeppelin bend. When assessed against other bends in stress tests using paracord, it was found to be "not as strong as the blood knot, similar to the reverse figure of eight and stronger than the fisherman's bend, sheet bend or reef knot".

Ediety knot (also "Merovingian knot"): a doubled Atlantic knot, best known as the tie knot worn by the character "the Merovingian" in the 2003 film The Matrix Reloaded. This tie can be knotted with the thin end over the wide end, as with the Atlantic knot, or with the wide end over the thin end to mimic the look seen in the film, with the ...
The discovery of all possible ways to tie a tie depends on a mathematical formulation of the act of tying a tie. In their papers (which are technical) and book (which is for a lay audience, apart from an appendix), the authors show that necktie knots are equivalent to persistent random walks on a triangular lattice, with some constraints on how the walks begin and end.
A noose is a loop at the end of a rope in which the knot tightens under load and can be loosened without untying the knot. The knot can be used to secure a rope to a post, pole, or animal but only where the end is in a position that the loop can be passed over.
The surgeon's knot is a surgical knot and is a simple modification to the reef knot.It adds an extra twist when tying the first throw, forming a double overhand knot.The additional turn provides more friction and can reduce loosening while the second half of the knot is tied. [1]
