The blank looks a bit bulky Neil, is it comfortable in the hand?

Keith,

Yes its very comfortable and the photos are deceptive, its not bulky at all, the half bead is all of about 1.5mm and quickly returns to less than the dimension of a straight turned pen. I think that it is less bulky than a straight pen. I turn these this way as the curves match the nib sections and it is more feminine. I sell this alongside the Atrax which tends to be bought by men, this pen by the ladies.

That looks better a better shape than the last one, had another look at the grey one and I think it's down to the colour and not the shape..:goesred:

The lighter coloured one the shape stands out more than this one.. :thinks:

As usual, top quality finish.:thumbs:
