Evaluate American Mallard Paintbrush

the American Mallard uh where could you find this brush you can find it on Amazon so I'm not sure where else I believe you can find on Amazon I think that's where I bought mine from and I saw them you know before in the past at a show didn't know where to get them found them on Amazon I think I paid um 19.99 for this one I think I paid um 11 or 12.99 for this one and so um why do they call it the American Mallard well as you can see it looks like a dock and it's the color of a duck so somebody that is a duck fan must have created these but what's the purpose of them they're supposed to be a says right on here um in bold green it's an ergonomic handle so I guess it's supposed to be a lot more comfortable holding something like this over a long period of Time Versus holding um your conventional paintbrush like this I think the weight of this being super heavy so the weight is in the um the actual handle and not in the ferrule and the brush the weight is in the ferrule and the brush here so I feel like this is more balanced it's not in um it's wanting to you know tilt its way this way because I feel like it's more balanced I think this when you're using this brush all the weight is in the handle itself and not you know in this area of the brush so this is all solid rubber I was wondering um it was kind of interesting because I think you can actually replace this part of it and you still would have the handle so you can um buy these a little bit cheaper if you just want to um toss out your filaments and stuff but the ferrule itself I'll start with the filaments it doesn't say what type filaments they are it just says it's all paints and stains um they're they're definitely not Dupont filaments I think they're just um some really cheap inexpensive filaments I noticed um on the brushes the filaments are easy to bend they're um not flagged they look like they're just flat they're not chemically tipped they feel pretty inexpensive I mean this one had filaments already coming out of it alright so I'm going to show you I've got a brush right here this is a handmade brush in New York the premier Brook here here we've got what I would call on one of the best ferals on any paint brushes I have ever seen right here this is a stainless steel ferrule you can see it looks brushed it the mill thickness of it is pretty dang thick it's crimped very nicely it's nailed perfectly now I'm going to compare that with the ferrule right here and this is going to be stainless steel…
