Each Buyer gets 2 ferrules.

In spring 2019 a customer of mine in Germany introduced me to one of the owners of H. L. Thäter, Harald - boy, was I excited!! We had an email chat, and I eventually sent a selection of Alpha handles for evaluation. Herr Harald came back to me with some specific requirements for his brush. He wanted something that looked like my Alpha T-400 Rubberset tribute brush, but he wanted it bigger and fatter. Big enough to accommodate a 26mm knot. I did not want to just scale up the T-400 - that would be way too easy.

I made him a fatter, meatier, more substantial handle capable of holding a 26mm knot. The handle is Thäter-branded, but it is every inch an Alpha!!

Ultimately, Herr Harald did not sell these handles, although he did agree I could sell off my already manufactured stock. This is the last of them.

Very Limited numbers available.

• Material: 6061-T4 Aluminum

• Process: Machined

• Width: 36mm

• Height: 82mm

• Weight: 132 bare handle

I can add a knot, Alpha G5 @ 26mm, as shown in the photos, or I can sell bare handles. Very limited - when they are gone, they’re gone.
