Dan,

I have never seen anything like it,



thank goodness! Looks like something that you might have got in a kelloggs packet in the 60s!

Dont know if this has worked but I cut and paste the top onto the body. I wanted to do this to see what the capped pen would look like. It has to be the most designless pen, if that is such a word. It is completely featureless, a truly awful pen, sorry to crucify this one Dan but others may just have even less taste than me and love it!

Some better pictures would be good, it looks like all metal no plastic that might be a step forward, I think the design could look good with some woods

Welcome to the forum Malcolm, introduce yourself in the section where people introduce themselves wherever that is. Mind the others on this forum though, mad, all of them, mad as hatters, some of them are madder than that.

Like Jim I have seen that clip before, if it had a nice piece of wood instead of that hideous thing it has then it would be a fairer decision, can't you get some samples from them to have turned and see in real life?

It pains me to admit it but I agree with Neil on this one. If it is as 'short and fat' as it looks in the photo it's going to be out of balance. Not to mention the featureless design. Oh, and the section/grip looks like it will be a bit uncomfortable - there's nothing to stop your fingers sliding off onto the nib.

Take a pass on this one, Dan!
