In reality, all badger Knots are made in china,I think all come from the same makers,I think all badger Knots are the same.
I have bought hundreds of knots from TGN over the yrs,Tony and Vanessa are a pleasure to deal with,are two days away via mail from most anywhere in the U.S.
They respond quikly to any issues and make everything right if a problem exsists,thats why I like TGN.
