The grand old square knot.
The sheet bend, aka weaver's knot. Used to join two lines end-to-end.

When/whatfor does one use a sheet bend, vs. a square knot?

They look alike, except the square knot is much easier to tie.

I've never had much use for the bowline, but it comes free with the
sheet bend.
