How To Tie A Double Sheet Bend | Bushcraft & Outdoor Knots
paulkirtley.co.uk The double sheet bend is a knot I find useful for attaching pieces of rope or cord of unequal diameter. This is something I've been asked about, particularly following my video about the double fisherman's knot, which is great for attaching two pieces of cord of exactly the same diameter.
Here, I briefly look at the sheet bend, which is OK for attaching two cords of equal length but not particularly secure when attaching a slim cord to a fatter rope (as demonstrated in the video).
The double sheet bend does a much better job of this, cinching down nicely, then holding firm. Because it clamps down and holds firm, I finish by showing a method of adding a quick-release to a double sheet bend so you can easily get it undone again. This is something I use as a matter of course to attach paracord guylines to larger tarps with tape-loop attachment points.
I hope you found this video useful.
