This is a new Berea kit called the Yari, that I purchased from Exotic Blanks. The finish is called Hardite and Chrome. Hardite is apparently a new plating for Berea. The blank is an acrylic from Exotic Blanks, called Hawaii Blue Mesh. I really like the blank and the shape of the pen.

I thought Yari was an unusual name for a pen kit, so I looked it up to see if it meant anything. It does, and it has a cool definition.

I was initially going to leave a slight bulge in the body, but decided at the last minute to make it straight. I'm glad I did, I think a straight body is more in keeping with the lines of this kit.
