"For acrylic and oil paints; Finest interlocking hog bristles; Long and short matte black wood handles; Copper-plated brass ferrules. The Blick Masterstroke Interlocking Hog Bristle series is one of our finest brush lines, and these are quite possibly the finest hog bristles you'll find anywhere. The very best craftsmanship goes into each brush, from the top-quality, hand-selected white bristles to the accent of gold on the tip of the matte-black handles. The term "interlocking" refers to the abundance of natural flags, or splits, on the tips of the bristles — deep flags that lock together and produce a smooth stroke even with thick or heavy paints." -Blick
