Anchor bend

The anchor bend is a knot used for attaching a rope to a ring or similar termination. The name is a misnomer, as it is technically not a bend, but a hitch.

"Fisherman's bend" redirects here. For a similarly-named knot, see Fisherman's knot. For the place, see Fishermans Bend, Victoria.
