This is my first Continental pen, which is the same as an Atrax. The blank is my first Rhino, called Northern Lights. Had to sharpen my chisel several times during turning, even though it didn't feel brittle. Ended up being a pretty blank.

It is a pretty god size pen. The cap is about .568" diameter, and the body is about .481". It weighs 1.7oz (48g), and is about 5.5" long. I like large, heavy pens, they feel more comfortable to me. I also love the subtle sparkles in the blank. I have a couple of other Rhino blanks, it'll be interesting to see how they turn out.
