The shape made in the first step of this bend would more accurately be called a loop or crossing loop, as shown in Knot#Terminology, instead of a Half-hitch. The line doesn't form an Overhand_knot around anything just yet. --NormalAsylum 02:53, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I don't think it's fair to call the Zeppelin bend "easily the most effective bend." It is a great knot, but often the more easily tied sheet bend is better. Rracecarr 21:50, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
