I'm sure Simpson would never bleach their badger hair to misrepresent the knot.
that said, I have several Simpsons brushes, including two in Super Badger and my favorite is a Classic 1 in 2-band silvertip. I'd love a Duke 2 or Classic 2 in 2-band also. The backbone of the 2-band is the sweet spot for me. I have two Thaters in 2-band silvertip in bulb knots, also excellent. My Semogue SOC 2-band has great backbone but I don't know if it's sivertip. Apparently all 2-bands are not considered silvertip?
