Signed up early to the Knog Oi kickstarter project - liked the feedback they provided, the regular updates, smartly presented videos and what appeared to be a lot of thought that went into the project.
Two things that didn't work
1. The delivery dates kept on slipping, and slipping, and slipping. Eventually, months later than I had expected, the bells were shipped, first to US, then Germany, then to the UK - by which time I could have bought one from a supplier in Germany for less than I paid Knog X months earlier.
2. I've bought two of the bells - titanium and copper ones - lovely looking, unobtrusive but really too quiet. One is a lot quieter than the other.
I wouldn't recommend one to anyone who expects a bell to be heard - and won't use Knog again - the delays and the issue where they shipped to internet suppliers instead of to kickstarter backers first hacked me off. These internet suppliers were selling the same bell for cheaper than Knog - no way would i back Knog again for one of their products. YMMV

Another Timber! user here - got one on the Brompton and one on the fattie - a million times easier than a standard bell, especially down the inside of a line of traffic on a City cycle lane - I just leave it on!
Nice and loud, but you can switch it on early when approaching walkers and then off as soon as they've clocked you.
Still a bit dingy - I'd prefer a deeper goat-bell sound, and expensive for a bell, but it certainly works!
I bought the Rock Bro's bell, but it gave up on me after a couple of months, so I asked for the SpurCycles one as a birthday present - it's been brilliant.
Do fancy trying a Timber bell too, but with a lifetime guarantee on the Spurcycle's one, not sure I'll need another
Lion Bellworks, thank you Stedlocks. I think that's the one I'd seen, and didn't know who made it.
… but think i'll try a Timber, looks handy that
i found that the crane bells are pretty good. the larger versions have a lovely sound and long reverberation japanese quality https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00KFCYUYK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
