purchased two, one as a gift for a friend who makes a living as an "influencer' of obscure, classic, quality products; keeping the other for myself. I have a collection of whisk brooms, some older than me. It appeared slightly 'Twee' to me but quite efficient as a kitchen counter crumb brush. nice wider sweep accommodating the natural wrist curve action. The long reach point appears ideal for ashing out the wood stove corners. My Temple cat demanded a try-out and enjoyed a run thru, preferring a push rather than brushing. I like a tool that has been around the block a time or two so time will tell of it's durability and if it becomes my go-to sweep. commendable craftsmanship.
