Another Smith Tip?
How'd he do it, Pa?
That used to be an uncommon name.
When will the left handed version be available?

Re: New Smith Tip
I am the very proud owner of the new Dave Smith Tip, this is a high quality instrument. This is something that will make laying gold leaf a breeze. If you want to do quality work, this is the way to go.

Re: New Smith Tip
Leo. The new tip has a square section of brass at the end, it encaspsulates all the hairs and looks nice and neat, thats the only change. The size of the tip is exactly the same as the older version, the colour of the box is now in deep burgundy.
