I took this to work today.
Now I know it's not very Scientific but when I make a kit I've not made before, I have a few people I give the pen(s) to, to try out. (usually 5, 3 ladies and 2 men). The one thing they have in common, is they all love to write.
Some comments...
.. too top heavy, and thought it would be fatiguing after 3 pages or so. (small hands)
Lose the decorative band, and increase the wood area. (interior designer)
The centre of balance is a little near the top, but works well in the larger hand. Would like to see more definition in the top decoration. (speed and Copperplate writer). This guy owns and loves a Brody Acrylic Sierra.
Love it! ( the control tester)
Can I have one in Burr Oak? (the customer)
The incredibly smooth mechanism stopped working properly after the third tester, which was a little worrying, ( had to unscrew the nib and re seat the refill) but this is only a sample.
Nobody mentioned the long nib assembly that has been a worry, in my original post
