I’ve successfully used baking soda dissolved in water to eliminate the smell in stinking t-shirts - and which I thought I would have to throw away.
I also used boric acid powder years ago to make a shoe deodorizer that worked rather well - but this isn’t available in France anymore.
That being said, these might ruin your knot - but hey, at least it’s not bleaching 😎

Huh. I think baking soda is a bleach, ackchually,
I should be brushing up (hihi) on my undergrad chemistry classes, but I’m starting to think that the main risk of baking soda and sodium percarbonate (oxiclean ond other brand names) isn’t to the knot but to the aluminium handle. Luckily the knot is hot-glued, so I should be able to extract it, play breaking bad with it, and reset it.
My plan, a ratchet of destinkification as it were, goes as follows:

You had undergrad chemistry, so I’ll take your word over mine 😁
In my lay man’s mind, bleach was something that removes.color, and I don’t believe that this happened to my clothes when treated with baking soda.
Good luck with your destinkification!

Thanks! I’m really hoping it’ll work, this brush was one of my best boars pre restankening
