Question about knot construction-TGN
What are the, for lack of a better word, the base of the TGN knots epoxied into? What I mean is, if you look at the pics of the knots for sale on their sight, the base of the knot seems to be encased in plastic or rubber surrounding the base of the knot and giving it a flat base.
How durable is this base? Is it plastic, therefore brittle? Would it shatter if struck with a hammer?
I have one of their two bands in a ceramic handle. I think the best way of removing this knot to place in another handle(do not like the current handle) is to take a hammer to said handle and shatter it, hopefully removing the knot whole. But I don't want to damage the knot, in the slightest.
Another question. If I manage to shatter the handle and pieces of the ceramic remain attached to this base, how do I remove these pieces without damage to the base of the knot?
Thanks.
