    Does anyone know of a synthetic knot that is close to the stiffness of an omega 10049 boar?

    I picked up another black and white Ever Ready to reknot. I never used a synthetic before and I'm looking for that black and white look.

    I would ask @Jayaruh. Jim works with many synthetic knots.

    I don't know of a synthetic that is as stiff as a boar. The Ubersoft 2 is a nice brush though. It may be worth a look at for you.

    I like the 22 and 24 mm maggard's synthetic brushes just the knots on eBay 8.99 + 9.99 great knot to redo a brush with.

    Whipped Dog's synthetic knots have quite a lot of backbone, so you might give those a try. Here's mine next to a Vie-Long Synthetic:

    Another option (and probably closest to an Omega boar) would be buying an Omega Hi-Brush and dismantling it ... IF you can remove the knot without damaging it.

    Edit: These Omega brushes all have a 24mm knot
