I have decided to try my hand at doing a couple of brush restorations. In looking around the internet I see a few suppliers of shave knots (i will likely use silvertip or super badger) I would like to know if someone could give a recommendation on a trusted supplier for knots. Ideally, I would prefer the best price and best quality but I would rather spend a little more and get a high quality knot. Thanks in advance for input!
Question on brush knot suppliers

The Golden Nib - thegoldennib.com has the best price and selection and their customer service is absolutely amazing. Tony will work with you and give you recommendations.
I could be wrong on this but I belive shavemac will also create a custom knot for you but the price will be significantly higher. I've never used a shavemac knot personally but the quality is supposed to be outstanding.

The only supplier I've used is The Golden Nib. In fact, it's the only one I know of and will be curious to see what else is out there. Tony, at TGN, is great to work with.
A very big +1
I wouldn't hesitate to order from Tony again and I'm from across the pond!
If this is your first attempt at restoration I would buy the TGN knot, Tony will help you select the right knot size for your application. The knots are great quality, they are a great value!!!!

Thanks a million to all...it sounds like Tony at the golden nib is the guy I want. I really appreciate the input and I will post some pix when the project is complete!
I've bought several knots from The Golden Nib, and I couldn't be happier.
I have just restored several brushes and I worked with Tony at TGN and Rudy Vey at [email protected]. Rudy helped me with two Shavemac knots. They are both excellent vendors and good to work with.
