What can I say? I like large brushes. I have big hands and I wanted a brush that I could effortlessly grip. I sent Rudy a photo of an old Ever-Ready brush and asked him to make it larger. The knot is a 26 mm two band (I believe it's a TGN knot). As an added bonus, Rudy threw in a stick of Arko and a tube of Lea. It's the most comfortable brush I've held and it's completely excessive. Just the way I like it!

Awesome brush! Batter up!
I would tape that handle for better grip though :)

Nice brush! Please don't stoop to the level of some of our beloved MLB All Stars and use performance enhancing drugs just to shave. What kind of example would that be for our youth?

Great brush and I love Rudy's work!
However...a bit disappointed that being from Boise you didn't choose the "obvious" colors.
