    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    I've probably had a dozen or more TGN knots pass through my den and still have 8 or so that are permanent residents. The best value is their Finest which performs great, has a minimum of scritch and looks good to boot. My favorite for performance and face feel is the grade A. I have two super silvertips which don't quite please me as much but they are in custom handles that do so I leave them there.

    Like all natural products, there is some variability from batch to batch.

    The people at TGN also provide great service.

    This is TGNs High Mtn White (AKA the Manchurian) from what I have been told the pelts come from the high snow country.
    The hair is really differant,very luxurious.

    All I have right now is a 24mm grade A that I love. I have a gently used 28mm HMW on the way from Steve.
