The look and feel of these multi-purpose paintbrushes is what makes them so special. Our beautiful brush handles have a silicone finish, so they feel as good as they look.
High Quality Synthetic Bristles
Our brushes are made with resilient tip-dyed synthetic fibers, which are softer than natural hair but more firm than sable.

The seller packaged this nice brush carefully. It was in a plastic sleeve and bubble wrap inside it's own box. Arrived with no damage.

Easy to use with watercolors. Ability to make fine and wide lines. Have not tried using with acrylics or oils.

There is an artist who does a lot of YouTube watercolor tutorials that uses this type of brush. The other day while watching I decided that I might try one myself. Well, this is the coolest brush ever! Every watercolor artist uses different brushes that give them the results they want and I have a feeling that the more I use this brush, the more I will enjoy it. It is extremely versatile from using it like a round and then a rigger all in the matter of seconds. Some people said this particular brush was too soft, but I love the softness of it and it holds plenty of water. For the price, this is a great brush, but then again, I love all the Princeton brushes!

I have been wanting a dagger brush for awhile now after trying a friends brush & liking it. I have only used this brush a few times and though it has a nice feel, it will not become a favourite as itt does not hold much paint.

Nothing better then a dagger brush when painting. Wish I had found this brush a while back. It is a good quality brush. No hairs falling out. Very soft and smooth.

I purchased this synthetic brush and a sable one too. Have to say I am now a "dagger" fan. They (depending on the size) are great for slender strokes, for detail and even for minor blending strokes. I almost like the synthetic one better than the sable because it's a bit stiffer. I plan on buying a set of bristle daggers, but I will definitely be using this one. Great brush, good value and Princeton is always a quality product.

Product arrived ahead of schedule. The product is exactly as described. The brush is a fine instrument which borders on advanced to possibly professional quality. The high side is, the brush has a medium length handle and is lightweight. The less than glossy side is, the product arrived in a plastic bag. One would think an extra dollar for a box would make a better presentation and higher rating
