I just want to clear up a little. Larry's is advertised as a High Mountain not a HMW. I happen to actually have one. It is a good knot. It is not as dense or soft as the HMW's. I would not expect it to be either at the price Larry can market them. It is however a pleasure to use. I also have had a Whipped Dog Silvertip for a few years now. It is the best bang for the buck for someone wanting to try a silvertip. I also have some high end brushes/knots to compare them with, not just guessing.
