I have an identical pair called "Smooth Grooves" by Regal Tip. I bought them here in Osaka at a shop. They scratched some of my rides and were a bit rough on my heads- the tip got caught and bit into- I don`t use them now for that reason. I would go to a thin wooden rods model or a normal but heavy-weight wire brush before I use them again. Check on-line for "Smooth Groves" by Regal tip. Good hunting! This pic is poor quality, just from my phone-hope it helps.
