Nice brushes, did you re-knot them yourself?

Only the stag was re-knotted. The rest are original, apparently unused, because they are beginning to break in for me, even the nylon. Close-up posted below, showing how the tips have splintered/split-ended. Looks like little snowflakes in person.

I did re-knot it myself. Learned later that I should apply the epoxy to the knot, not the hole. You can see a small amount on the bristles because of that, but it works well.
