Paladin Brushes (Bring um out)

So as a few of you knew the past week was a time to work on the lineup of all my hardware for the 2019 season prepping for the upcoming VADER. I have made the following changes to my brush stable

I loved 2 Band Badgers and had some of the top elite brushes from Simpson M&F Brad Sears Paladin and Wiborg. I had 7 brushes. I really only need one but am allowing my self 3 or 4. I have been enjoying my Paladin El Dorado and decided to build my stable strictly of Paladin 28mms. I love that they have amazing handles based on Classic handle styles of the past. I also like that you will get individual characteristics of each knot before you buy. Are there other elite brush makers out there that perform equally as well? Yes. But the standard and tolerance to perfection are higher than others out there. So they are going to be the official brush maker of team Sharps.

Old Stable

Wiborg Finest 2 Band. 26MM
M&F Polo Finest 2 Band Pre collaboration 27MM
Simpson 58 Manchurian 24MM
Brad Sears Select Badger 28MM
Black Eagle Exclusive Badger. 25MM

Please feel free to join this thread and add your Stable. I hope to make this an area we can share and discuss all things Paladin.
 
I have a 28mm Paladin PK-47 in Blue that I really like but I am a Sorrentino Fanboy and the 5 of those I have and the Paladin plus two Stirling, two Omega, one Satin Tip and one Semogue I am done for the most part of changing the stable of brushes. Unless I see a Paladin that just jumps out at me or I add another Sorrentino.
 
I have one. A 26 mm PK47 and I love it. I want a honeybee just waiting for the right one and right time

Love it TJ.. I know we have huge Sorrentino following here. Eric turns amazing handles.
 
I have two Paladins. A 2018 Dark Holler Jack (24mm) and a new-within-the-last-week Sumo (26mm). Really liking the 26mm knot so far. The Sumo is hands down my favorite handle shape. ?

 
Still wanting a Paladin Beehive Honey Noir and eventually a Buck Rogers of some nice color. Have 4 Paladins now on the top row, 4 on the left.
 
I’ve posted all these before in the other Paladin thread, but I think this is my first group shot that includes my Ebonite.

 
One of these does not belong!
