Comparison: CiM 727 Van Dyke vs CiM 726 Safari

Honestly - I can't tell them apart. Maybe Van Dyke (rod and 3 pieces on the left) retains a little more grey vs Safari (rod and 3 pieces on the right).

But functionally - I can't tell them apart. Maybe they work differently in beads.

They are beautiful, but they seem interchangeable to me - given their variability.
