Thank you sir.
It's a fan, please go one page back where I show the same knot in a different handle and also a bulb knot for comparison.
Thanks Rudy. I should pay attention.

Rudy just let me know we are at 40 orders on this group buy!!! That is awesome but I think there are 10 more of you out there that need your first, or second or third @Rudy Vey masterpiece!!!! All of your brushes need a new friend! And if you’ve not yet experienced the craftsmanship of Rudy, now is the time! 
Thanks for identifying!
I had never seen this version, but it inspired me to use my blue one tomorrow.

OK, as requested by some, here a few pictures about the production process.
First I chuck up the cut to size blank in a chuck and drill the hole needed for the knot. Then I drill a smaller hole inside the big hole.
After this, I cut a thread inside the small hole and the blank is re-chucked and the turning process will begin. The next pictures show a few of the turning process. After turning to shape, the handle is sanded with five grits, starting at 180 and finishing with 600. Then I use two different polishes, first one is a coarse and then the finer one.
The whole process is then finished with buffing the handle first with tripoly and then with white diamond.
Next step is to take them to the engraver for the engraving, then setting knots in glue and shipping out.
I will order the Shavemac badger knots on the first of April (no joke), they are very busy and have taken their site down where I normally have a page for ordering. So, this time it is done by email to Bernd directly. The boars and the Mistura knots should arrive here today and the Muehle Synthetics are all on hand.

Can only attach so many files, so here are a few more. I just cannot take more pictures of the turning process, as I need two hands on the tool. The one picture shows nicely what the lathe looks just after one handle...
Way too cool.....
