A Zeppelin bend (also Rosendahl bend) is a general purpose bend knot. It is a secure, easily tied, and jam-resistant way to connect two ropes. Though its simplicity and security may be matched by other bends, it is unique in the ease with which it is untied, even after heavy loading.
Famous quotes containing the word bend:
“I bend my body to the spade
Or grope with a dirty hand.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
