I find some pen kits a bit garish with their highly polished plated finish. Are there any stainless steel kits out there or would they be too expensive for most folks? A link or two would be handy if they are available.

It has occurred to me but I would prefer to take the easy way out to start with and use a kit!
Good to hear, look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Welcome to the forum William.
I have made several from stainless and also from brass and aluminium, you wouldn't notice much difference between a similar sized regular kit pen. The blank you choose makes more of a difference to the weight than the components.
If it is a solid stainless or brass bolt type pen then they are a bit heavier about 74gr
