This is now the second one I have seen ordered. Would you mind sharing where you are ordering from, thanks?

Just got my Sparrow knots the other day, took quite a while to get here although I paid for expedited shipping.
Interesting looking knots. As soon as my hand allows I will make me one...
Got 27 and 29 mm knots, one of each fan and bulb. However, by looking at them they seem very close in their shape to each other.
One of the knots in each size is a few mm shorter. Knots are pretty big, the 29 would need a 30.5 mm opening and the smaller one a 28.5
hole.

I’m not sure if there’s a difference in fibre thickness or density but I took a picture of a Wald A1 bulb knot for comparison.

From the factory. On Aliexpress.

Just buy the two parts (knot & handle).
From the order page open the messege center with the apposit icon.
Then ask for setting and coin to customize.
Fast. Easy. Free.

I’ve been happy with all Oumo knots that I’ve tried, Boti makes some good ones too

Ive been very happy with everything I've ordered from oumo so far. One of my favorite knots is my T1 tyrant, and I recently picked up one of his emperor knots that is quickly becoming a favorite for me also. Carry is a really cool guy, I wish he would normalize his prices on his website vs ali I would prefer to buy from him directly but the price difference is pretty big sometimes.

The only thing I can say negative about them is everything I order from them smells horrible, and I dont mean the normal stinky badger smell. I dont know if its the type of adhesive they use or something in the packaging material but its horrible and not a slight smell.
