Golden Nib UK Boar Knot

[Mink]

Anybody made a brush from the nicer (UK) boar knots? I was thinking of making one but can't find any comments on them. Specifically, does anyone have any experience with the UK-20 3 Band.


Moderators:

I can't find anything about Golden Nib in the Brush reviews section. Do we need a special section for members to post feedback on the different knots? Or, should we just add the Golden Nib knots to the Brush reviews? Many of us are reknotting handles and it would be good information to have because there are so many knots to choose from. It would also be good information to get comparisons from members who have the high end brushes and have them compare their brushes to the high end knots from Golden Nib.

Thanks

Maybe if we add enough to it then board mods will have a reason to add a section or a sticky.

I did re-knot a brush from a U.K. boar knot, but I'm not a boar aficionado, so it's hard for me to give it a very accurate review. I'll try to remember to use it again tomorrow, and then I can at least give you my impression, for whatever it's worth. Here's a picture of the brush, after 1 use.

I have made a number of brushes with both the standard and the UK boar knot. The standard is much more dense, but personally I like the feel and looks of the UK boar. I do not use boar brushes, but I have heard back from my customers and they like them a lot, but then its maybe the nice handle on the brush....
