It starts with with a seemingly innocent question about differences you may or may not have noticed, this manifest's itself by deciding you have a preference for an item that is no longer made and quite difficult to obtain and so the compulsion begins.
If I remember you sold your CH1 Super because it was too scrubby, CH2 Best because it became too large and soft and CH2 Super because you had to. You know this isn't healthy don't you?

henkverhaar said:Could it be that they hand-turn them on an analog ( ;-) ) lathe. Nah, unlikely. They probably have different (out-) sources that all have their own original for the copy lathe, made way back when by a local pattern maker. Or something similar.

Vulfix also sell the high end knots, although I suspect only in wholesale quantities -- those UK knots that Tony at Golden Nib sells are Vulfix knots.

Here are some CH2's from different era's, the differences are barely noticeable.
Left to Right...Vulfix 2band, Prefix Super, Prefix Best.
The prefix Best I know was sold in 1985 because I have the receipt.
