B&B Essential, love the knot but not the handle

[Ducati Scotty]

I ordered the B&B brush. Great knot but the handle just wasn't for me so I passed it along. I've got repetitive strain injuries in my hands and I get on better with bigger, chunkier handles.

Does anyone know what other Omega brushes use the same (or very similar) knot? I'd like that same knot in a chunkier handle.

Thanks,
Scott

It's a custom knot. If you wanted the knot in a different handle, you should have transplanted it.

Ah! Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I'll get something close in dimension and see how it works out.

Thanks,

Perhaps contact WCS and see if they can recommend a brush with similar qualities in a larger handle.

If your after a chunckier handle than may a reckomend the Omega #34?

Black & clear, solid resin handle.
Handle: 49 mm x 33 mm x 33 mm

Both good suggestions. Thanks.
