Lucite and faux ivory? handle with TGN Finest 22mm knot set at 48mm
Nov 18, 2011 #5 Airborne_r6 Looks more like casein than faux ivory to me, but I could be wrong. Either way, very nice.
Nov 19, 2011 Thread starter #10 5 52131 I'm not at all sure of the handle material...any positive identification would be appreciated. It is very hard, and hard to work. Looking up from the bottom, through the Lucite, it says: Sterilized Genuine Badger N. <E> Y.

I haven't heard of it being used for brushes either but there is a plastic made of casein and it looks just like that. I make pens and ran across it there.
