The Figure of Eight Bend is also known as the Flemish Bend
The Figure of Eight Bend is a great way of securely joining two ropes together.
What is a Bend in Rope? Often when two ropes are joined together, it is known as a bend, therefore we have a Figure of 8 Bend, as both ropes are joined together using the Figure of Eight Knots.
What is the Figure of Eight Bend used for? It is a good secure way of joining two ropes together. However, if used for critical loads, the the two working ends should be longer than those shown in the video. Also, for additional security, the two working ends can be tied off to the standing part of the opposite rope. The Figure of Eight Bend is best suited when the two ropes are of equal size.
The Figure of 8 Bend if dressed correctly is not too difficult to undo, even if the ropes have been heavily loaded.
