It has been two months since our last update, and a great deal has happened in that time.
In the end, we decided to launch two distinct Super Fiber knots, each with its own character.
ST-1: Silvertip Style
The first is a conventional style aligned with mainstream aesthetic preferences: Super Fiber — Silvertip-1, officially designated ST-1.
For a strong backbone, we selected a thicker hair shaft diameter and extended the tip length as much as possible, bringing the feel closer to genuine badger hair.
The curvature is not aggressive — we used two different curvature combinations to help ST-1 splay open more readily.
In short, this is a Super Fiber that approaches the feel of a high-end badger knot.
R-1: Rime Style
The second product has gone through countless iterations and has essentially achieved our initial vision — though a few shortcomings remain and may require one more round of adjustment.
On colour, we abandoned the Matcha approach — it proved too difficult to pair with handles. We chose a more conservative shade, temporarily named Rime.
Its final name will likely be Super Fiber — Rime-1, with the official version code R-1.
We increased the curvature and used three distinct curvature types to create a more complex honeycomb structure, which helps the knot trap air and splay open more readily.
At the same time, we used three different hair shaft diameters, delivering a richer, more realistic feel.
Release Timeline
We cannot yet confirm a release date for either version — we still need feedback from our testers. If everything goes smoothly, both Super Fibers will be released soon.
Thank you.
