Yesterday, I assembled my first two Zetas and I am really pleased with the kit. As most of you will already know, the kit is really well designed with no moving parts rubbing against the wood. I also like the fact that the twist mechanism is separate from the refill mechanism, the former being at the back and the latter requiring the tip to be unscrewed. The plating looks and feels high quality and the screw threads are all metal. Why can't similar kits, such as the Sierra, match this quality?

In the photos below, the pen at the bottom is a full Rhodium Zeta wearing a suit of Dymondwood Hazelwood and the one at the top is a Gunmetal and Chrome Zeta sporting a Cocobolo onesy! :cool: Both are finished with CA glue and Hut Ultragloss plastic polish.

Two very nice pens Bob :thumbs:
The Zeta is a great pen and popular with customers. I've sold everyone I've made apart from the one I keep for personal use :wink:
