== Merging Euro death-knot into this article == 

 Although I mildly opposed the merger of Euro death-knot (EDK) into this article in the discussion above, I now believe this is the best course of action.  When I recently began to consider a cleanup of the current EDK article, I found myself writing about exactly the same knot as is being covered here: a practical bend used to connect two lines for load-bearing purposes.  Although the EDK name has been used (and some might argue used incorrectly) to refer to other knots, the primary knot discussed as the EDK is the overhand bend.  If these other knots need to be covered, then it should be in separate articles under their own proper names with a "see also" header above the EDK section in this article.  Comments? Dfred
