This is a PSI Graduate pen, in black enamel. The blank is another Rhino, called Molten Copper Swirl. Beautiful blank!

Not real happy with the finish on the pen components. They're not glossy black, like the Berea black chrome pens. And there was some sort of coating on them. A couple were even stuck inside the plastic bags. I cleaned them as best I could with a dry rag, and it looks okay. Pictured is a black chrome Sierra for comparison.

Beautiful blank and pen. It's a shame about the components being a bit dull. The comparison with the quality of the Sierra is obvious.

Love the blank Jim. I've got a black enamel Vertex Clicker kit that's turned up with the same issue, parts stuck to the bags, I haven't opened to investigate yet though.

Have you enquired re the poor finish on the kit Jim? Having three suppliers gives a great command on the Rhino blanks they are superb and cheap.Beautiful blank.
