25mm ST-2 underperforms
I have previously purchased the ST-1, regular and ExDens knots from Oumo and they are spectacular. Based on my past experiences, I purchased the 25 mm knot ST-2. The knot is insufficiently dense, has no backbone and is extremely floppy. The tips are very soft but that doesn't make up for the other failings. The knot is set deeper than usual, in an attempt to give it some backbone, unsuccessfully.
I have also purchased the ST-2 in a 27mm knot and the my experience is completely different. That knot size is excellent.
Oumo makes high quality products, but in my opinion, they missed the boat on the 25mm or less ST-2 knot.
