jankdc, many interesting new additions, the one with the copper handle especially. I like that Zenith is so flexible about what they will make.

Nicely done.

Can you get knots that we can buy for custom handles? I'd buy a couple. It's a pain to extract a good boar knot from a OEM handle. Not to mention a waste of a handle.

Just a thought.

I have a couple of vintage brushes that I want to restore with boar bristles like they originally had.

Unfortunately no. I've asked several times. My understanding is that the plastic handled ones (like the B3 and B10) are the easiest to extract.

Does anyone think I should get some Manchurians made with these handles?

If I understood the question correctly, my answer would be “no” on putting Manchurian knots in a plastic handle. (I understand it would probably bring the price down quite a bit, but I think such a knot is worth more than just a simple plastic handle, if that makes sense.)

On another forum, there was a thread about how someone asked Zenith for a new dark synthetic fiber brush in a color that wasn’t available in their standard selection. In that case, Zenith was happy to accommodate, and the brush with a dark synthetic knot in a butterscotch-colored retro resin handle was complete within a few hours after the brush was requested.

Do you have any plans on adding more of the dark synthetics into the selection, and possibly the butterscotch handle color? Smile

That sounds great. I’ll send you a private message.

A couple of orders ago, I had the last of the ceramic handles finished. I have two versions of synthetic, a horse, and another of the original blue silvertip. You can see them here.
