Fake Pen

[Gregory Hardy]

Imitation tortoise. Imitation ivory. Ebonite section (fake ebony). At least the bronze and Bock nib are authentic! I made the section four times before I got one that didn't break at the very same spot. (FYI - Definition of Insanity: "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.")

Nicely turned and finished.

To me the clip is too long and to the eye looks out of proportion.

To me also - that's the third clip, and I'm still not happy. I struggled finding a way to stop the frimping pattern (done with a series of files by hand) and terminate the two ends so that it fit the pen well. Tough experiment. Not my finest hour for sure. I decided December 1st that I was done making kit pens and that I was going to stand or fall on my own. The next one will be better, my friend! Stay tuned!

The clip maybe slightly too long but I love the way it blends into the background of the cap. Very nice.

I think it is a beauty. I can see the point about the clip but that is a matter of taste and does nothing to distract from the skill shown in making it.
