You do realise that will probably be worth a fortune, as you will be the only plonker daft enough to have bought one to try. :funny::funny:

Mighty fine looking pen there Johnny, this kit might just grow on me..:devil: I did say "might" didn't I?:wink:

Looks nicely turned but to me there is a little gap at the nib end (first picture) where it looks as though its off square or it's not pushed together fully.

Probably the boldest turner on here you are Johnny5, would make a nice pen for a poker player/pit boss.

Liking this full stop. Johnny the hardware fits the catagory of look at me an improved clip action easily assisted when placing in the pocket where it displays well. The top of the pen the centre band, banding at the nib are inclusive unlike many other kits. Top detail piques curiousity the symbols are familiar in black and red continued in the centre band. Much younger eyes than mine will be impressed I know.

I am happy to see departure in design and form there is a market and a good place for this pen and I venture in the hand, pocket and desk will impress. Thanks mate.There is nothing casual about a pen, this one is definite.

I like your work, and I admire someone who thinks out of the box. I knew it would raise some eyebrows, but if it has an appeal then the chances are it will sell and sell again.

After all look at this

No sorry , it is designed to have a small gap, that is where the twist action is and prevents friction. It is a solid well made pen, you have to handle it to feel the quality.
