How to Tie a Double Fisherman's Knot | Step by Step Tutorial
The Double Fisherman’s Knot (also known as the Grapevine Bend) is a powerful and secure bend knot used to join two ropes or create closed loops like Prusik cords.
Despite its name, it’s rarely used in fishing. Instead, climbers, arborists, and rescuers trust it in life-critical applications due to its reliability.
🔍 Knot Overview:
Type: Bend
Also Known As: Grapevine Bend
ABoK Reference: #294
🪢 Common Uses:
✔Making Prusik loops for climbing
✔Creating secure loops in arboriculture
✔Used in kayaking and rescue systems
✔Ideal for DIY lanyards and bracelets
✅ Pros:
✔Very strong and secure
✔Easy to tie and inspect
✔Supports heavy loads
⚠️ Cons:
✔Very hard to untie after being heavily loaded
💡 Pro Tips:
✔Always leave at least 6 inches of tail for safety.
✔For high-tech ropes like Spectra or Dyneema, use the Triple Fisherman’s Knot for better grip.
✔Consider the Zeppelin Bend as a non-jamming alternative.
📌 Caution:
The Double Fisherman’s Knot can become extremely difficult to untie under load, making it great for permanent loops but inconvenient if you need to separate the ropes later.
