Thread: gilden nip knots question

I mounted the 23mm UK super badger knot in a temporary handle and gave it the first try yesterday. It feels very different from the 26mm silvertip. It is not as tightly packed, yet it seems to hold as much water or more. No shedding whatsoever, woo-hoo. I think that its bristles are longer and thicker than of the 26mm silvertip. It feels smoother and more luxurious against my face and it is less "moppy", its bristles have good backbone. It has different shape, too; with more flat top. I am a happy camper.

i did talk to tony at the golden nib on the phone yesterday and he did say the UK knots are made by Vulfix.
