The unique spring activated action snaps the Kolinsky sable point to a sharp tight tip every time you flick. You control the moisture content of the brush thereby eliminating the need to put the brush in your mouth or wipe it over a cloth or sponge to get the point you need. Made of the highest quality male Kolinsky sable hair for superior elasticity. The Snapping Kolinsky gives the artist or technician a greater degree of accuracy and freedom. Comes with three interchangeable Kolinsky brush tips and a snapping handle. It's like getting three brushes in one! Snapping Kolinsky has one brush handle and three round tips in sizes 4, 6, and 8 packaged in a hinged cardboard case with a foam insert and a magnetic-flap-closure. Use for watercolor, miniature art, restoration projects, Sumi, calligraphy, and beauty industry.
