Big knot, not so big price?

[jb74]

Am looking for a good performing badger with as large a knot as is deemed usable... something in the 26-30mm region, but without having to spend hundreds or euros/dollars. Anyone have any good recommendations for large knotted brushes in the mid-price range. If they look really sexy that'd be a plus, I'm fond of my good looking brushes. Thanks

I would recommend the badger knots here from The Golden Nib's "Finest" line:

I have never sourced a new handle, but it should not be difficult to find one. You might even make it yourself.

Whipped Dog has a 30 mm Silvertip that is truly great. Mine was something like $38.00, but the prices may have gone up with his latest shipment of knots.

Lijun? Virginia Sheng? Whipped Dog? Any of these could keep you at or below the $40 mark before shipping.

TGN and WD knots are great, have a look also in ebay, for Chinese sellers.

I have a 30mm from Whipped Dog too. Very happy with it.

I have a 30mm Whipped Dog in transit, and the price was extremely reasonable. 38 shipped.
