Which is better for tying two ropes together, the Flemish Bend, or the Double Fisherman's Bend? I've been trying to learn one knot for every purpose, which necessitates identifying the best knot for every purpose, but I can't seem to find a straight answer for this one online. The Double Fisherman's Bend seems simpler to tie, since I already know the Fisherman's Knot, but if it's significantly inferior/less safe than the Flemish Bend, then I'd have to learn that one.
