Thanks Jhenry. I know a bit about the different grades, what confuses me is how the 2 band fits in with the best, pure, etc. Specifically for that PJ2 i was looking at.

Trying to determine if it's refering to coloring (2 bands of color), or packing (tied w/ two bands - ie denser)? And how it compares softness wise with best and pure.

With the different grades, and not standard, it really comes down to comparing every knot's variants... I'm just not willing to buy one of each. Trying to avoid SBAD... look to be failing.

Thanks!

Rob
