Hi I'm thinking to get a 30mm declaration knot, I know the only way to do this is to send him a Handel and buy the knotting service, just wondering if anyone who has done this could share there experience with a 30mm declaration knot. I'm thinking to get B3 but just abit worried it may be to big, also if anyone has any pictures of a 30mm declaration please share would love to see thanks

I think you would need to send him a handle that has an opening of probably 32 mm. Most of his knots require an opening that is 1-2 mm larger than the nominal knot size. In the past I always followed his recommendations for opening size that is posted on his site.

Yes for sure the measurements needed are on his site

It is:
"Requested hole sizes (depth is less important than diameter):
24mm 1" diameter, ~15mm deep
26mm 1 1/16" diameter, ~15mm deep
28mm 1 1/8" diameter, ~15mm deep
30mm 1 1/4" diameter, ~16mm deep"

It is in the Brush FAQ's
The size calculates to 31.75, also a 32 mm hole needs to be drilled.

Ok I'm not sure about the exact details but I normally just forward that picture on to whoever is making the handle and they should know what to do.
Thanks so much for your help

Have sent many to him, for my customers or myself.

I have a 28mm DG B14. It's a huge knot. 30mm would be for Andre the Giant's face. ;-)

Ok I see I also have a few of his standard 28mm but always wanted to try the 30mm. Iv decided to get a B3 30mm I spoke to someone who said is not really bigger than a Simpsons chubby 3 which I really enjoy

I have a few DG.  One of them is B11.  Knot about 29-30.  Tight knot.  Lots of hair!  I don't have a huge face, but I like this knot (although the B15 is better for me).  I also have a Varlet with a 29 HD knot (not XD).  I like Varlet better on the face (in the middle in the photo).
