Maybe not much of a help but I think the Wheelsmith spokes were made by Asahi, if that expands your search territory.
I will look over my spoke "library" and see if I have either one of those brands in 290mm.

I’ve used Wheelsmith spokes on all of my wheel builds so when I saw the OP’s, request, I figured how hard could this be? Well clearly I need to get out more. According to one article anyway, Wheelsmith is no longer making spokes. Is this true?
FWIW, the builder in the article feels Sapim Sprint spokes are a worthy substitute to the DB14.

I didn't want to believe it, but it saddens me that Wheelsmith spokes are gone from the marketplace.

If anyone would like to trade natural finish for black, just found a stack of black 290 x DB14 in my supply. It's doable as long as I can get at least twenty.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Just been around the block looking for spokes. Someone gave me this site and the spokes come in at a pretty good price.
