The best quality/strongest white hog bristle comes from the Chinese city of Chungking. Bristles are then double-boiled so they are not too hard and stiff and to give them extra spring and longer life. Master brush makers in small family owned factory since 1905 shape these bristles by hand to construct the finest interlocked hog bristle brushes made anywhere in the world. This is their specialty and consistent quality is seen in the construction of these series. Seamless, nickle-plated brass ferrules ensure durability and are mounted on beautiful two tone red and silver handle.
