Special Stuff!!
From time to time here at Alpha we get creative and start working with other artisans to bring you Special Stuff. Right now we have a number of brushes that have been lovingly modified by caustic Customs and Knifemodders. The brushes are made in aluminium, titanium, copper and brass.

A lovely Beehive brush with a stonking 28mm of two band super high density badger. This knot and this handle were made for each other!!
Note: Betahive Cu is made from RAW copper with only a polished surface - it WILL patina over time. Alternately, you can polish it up now and again with a light metal polish. The brush is also HEAVY at 13 ounces....

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.
