I'm going to take measurements of the knot today with some calipers to get precise dimensions then forward them to one of our great woodworking members here for the handle. I absolutely can't wait!

I purchased one knot for myself, and i'm only providing a link to where I purchased them from.... By no means am I a middle man for anything or anybody. If I had the time to have another venture...

I've heard the same thing there Jimmy!

So I've probably got 30 pm's so far about this knot and a few have ordered them already! Please share once you get your knot!!!

I don't know anyone that works ivory here in Canada and have been in contact with a member already who has told me it's a federal offense to send it to Canada? It'd have been nice but doubt I can...

Bob, that Simpson manchurian looks very similar to the 'super' that Rooney uses.

The vendor sums it up for us and is exactly what i've read here and on other forums: The badger knot is made of High Mountain Badger. It is also called Manchurian badger. The badger hair comes from...

Pixel, from what I've read, the manchurian badger is actually it's own separate animal.

Jimmy I can only go by the pictures but the pattern, size of black band and length of the tips on the knot I just received and the one in the simpson looks incredibly similar!

I should also mention that, from what I understand, the wholesaling website doesn't release the funds to the actual seller until there is confirmation of delivery. They seem to have a pretty good set...

Wow, lots of interest here!! If everyone that pm'd me gets one we should start a thread about brushes created from these knots and review them.

I didn't order the most expensive knot at all, they...

I guess it all depends, as pixel mentioned, how deep you drill your hole. I think I'm going to go with the 25mm deep hole which will give a 55mm loft.

My Rooney has no scritch whatsoever but is a...

Bob, you're thinking the same way I am! The color of that knot actually looks identical to the one I just received. I've been wondering lately where the big manufacturers source their badger hair......

I looove the feel of the Rooney just wish it had a little more bloom/flow through so I'll most likely go with a 55mm(ish) loft.

That VLB sounds like an awesome little tool!!!

Also, if anyone is interested, PM me and I'll send you the link to the supplier, he's got a wide range of products at crazy cheap rates! If you're interested in a 'beginner' brush knot or you turn...

Bob, I'm was thinking something along the lines of the Simpson Chubby styled handle. I absolutely love the feel of the Rooney in my hands and don't think I want to go much taller than that. Unless...

Jimmy, I'm hoping it turns out great! I've contacted someone on here to give me a price as I love his work so we'll see. Also, I don't really know much about the loft but maybe you can explain why...

It's hard to tell but I'd say it's a little less dense than the Rooney. This might not be a bad thing as the flow through on the Rooney sometimes makes it want to hold onto the lather rather than...

SO, I actually found a supplier of badger knots that is in China... His prices are insanely cheap and I was nervous about the purchase at first... then the knot arrived. The 30mm wide knot has a loft...
