What a stunning job.Ever-Ready Nylon Lucite handles are perfect candidates for modern synthetic re-knots.
I've had this 500N for a while with a different synthetic knot in, but I really enjoyed lathering up with the Tuxedo knot that I placed into its larger brother, the 600 (with a 24mm knot), so bought in a 22mm for this handle and re-re-knotted it.

Thank you Paul for the advice.Cheers!
The 24mm came from Canada via eBay. The 22mm from Virginia Sheng (China), again, eBay.
If you do happen upon a Lucite brush and want to re-knot it, usually the knot will come free with a good grip, twist and snap. Gently, clean out the hole and re-line it with nail varnish. The bigger 600 has been re-lined with nail varnish, the 500N as it was when I pulled the original knot.
Including mates rates may I add.@pjgh you could start doing this for others for a fee...
Totally see that. @pjgh what are your thoughts on this?Including mates rates may I add.
Just a thought.
How many have you got that you'd sell is prob a good start? Make more than you need and sell themIt's a nice idea. I'm loathed to say yes because my process is not pretty - more the Butcher than the Surgeon. If a twist and pull doesn't work, it's a full on drill with spade bits. I'm not all fancy fine with a Dremel. I'm probably on par with brushes broken and brushes that were successes.
Can I get on that list for anything 26mm+ in size whoopEvery now and again I'll tip a brush into BST ...
