Here is a click pen called the "Spartan"
Made using Wild Mango and finished using friction polish and Clear Bison Wax.
Reminds me of a set of Darts i had in the 80's
Would suit a darts Secretary perhaps LOL

All it need now is a set of flights and you have a dual purpose pen.. Good piece of turning but not sure on the pen design but like most things someone will like it.

Undecided on the kit although it looks like the quality of it may be reasonable, the design features leave something to be desired.
Thankfully my darts were much better than the crappy brass ones so I can't like that aspect of it.
It has it's appealing side but I ain't sure what or where.
That takes nothing away from the fit and finish which is spot on, I need to come back and take another look every now and then to see if it grows on me.

Having made a pen from three brass Darts I can admire this pen because I have always felt there is room and a niche market for themed pens. Unlimited commercial opportunities out there extending to key rings etc. Les Elm has shown me the way to identify and capture a beaut market where he lives actively promoting.

Found it difficult to obtain easily the PSI range in the past I would have fun with this pen and the hex shape at the top.

O Rings are effective, the brass bold, the overall pen striking and well made.

Thanks for posting that Johnny.
I made a chrome one in blue acrylic months ago and couldn't for the life of me remember what it was. I did have an excellent smooth click mechanism.
MIL pinched it off me last weekend, said it would suit her arthritis hands.
