the Multifold-Overhand-knot<br />
If you make more than two turns in the overhand knot it wil be fatter. (But hardly<br />
stronger.) In twined rope it is important to work up the knot very carefully. (It will not<br />
only look neater, it wil prevent 'kinking' which will weaken the rope even more!)<br />

The (Flemish) Eight<br />
This knot is larger, stronger and more easy to untie than the overhand knot. It does<br />
not harm your rope as much as the overhand knot does. So therefore sailors use<br />
this knot in most cases. (! not for bend support, where the smaller overhand is<br />
used, or in rope, a permanent small stopper)<br />
