I am in the process of restoring some brushes, so I placed a couple orders for knots. These knots were not necessarily targeted for these specific handles, but I liked all three enough that I think that's where they are going to end up! Horsehair, Boar and Red Fox synthetic (all Shave Forge). Would you do anything differently? The Ever-Ready is the only handle that is completed and the other two also need to be opened up a little to seat the knots.
