I ran into a few issues on the new Re-knots.
My Zenith was classed as a 28mm Faux Horse - it was not, it was also very difficult to get out, there is a wooden insert inside the handle!
Solution?
Swap knot with my 26mm Blue resin SBB brush, then open the hole of the SBB to 28mm.
The Culmak Junior needed the hole opening to accept the 21mm Boar.
Pretty happy with the results though, all the Vintage handles have been fitted with natural bristles, the Zenith will look great once it has been re polished and the SBB really suits its new knot.
