No. I admit it was a new knot from TGN. Perhaps Omega has something different. I suppose it is an age-old deal to upsurp Mother Nature's finest! Here is an old nylon Rubberset I bought because I liked the fishing fly imbedded in the handle. The papers which came with it make some claims. Mebbe I will give it a go? Joe the Barber seems to have a fine head of lather there! (Scary Dude, ol Joe!)
