I’ve just put a G5 knot in a Chisel & Hound brush for a member here. He was delighted with the result. If you wish, I’ll shall take on the task. You buy the replacement knot, send it to me with the Vie Long and cover the return postage. That’s all I ask.View attachment 89088
Amphora-ish Vie Long handle. The knot is horse - too much mane to tail to my preference - it tangles like a bastard. It's a good handle shape - a small silvertip knot would be the bollocks I think. Not that I have the skills to achieve that. @Gairdner - do you take commissions? - I.
Excellent - I'll need to measure the knot - it is quite small - 24 - 26mm? I don't know. Where might you recommend I buy a knot? I want a short loft silvertip. The brushes I use all the time are best badger or two-band but I want something softer. What do you think? - I.I’ve just put a G5 knot in a Chisel & Hound brush for a member here.

That’s a bit lofty for me but I do love that knot. I find it just too floppy and springy at those ‘heights’. Brush looks great though.
