Love this handle, but I'd like to put a synthetic knot in one like this handle. I bought a few synthetic knots 2 or 3 years ago, I was pretty satisfied with all of them. Is there much difference between the different synthetics that have been recently made?
It is one of my favorite brushes as a 2band badger, if you buy it of coarse you would try it as is and see if the feel is what you enjoy and if not remove the knot. Yaqi sometimes comes out with a synthetic with this handle but is a very rare occasion and they just do a small batch to test the market if folks like it. There is something about the color that soothes my mind and it must be because I have seen lots of Mountain lakes over the years.
