I have been to asked to make a pen for someone at work, he has fingers like salamis, so wants a BIG fountain pen.

Any recommendations for good quality BIG kits.

Cheers

Def go for the SN Gents from TB and turn it wide. I have sold load of these kits to ex rugby players who like me suffer from joiint pain in their fingers from being mashed so many times. You can turn the body of this pen to around 16mm without it looking too hideous, it takes a 37/64 and 15/32 drill bit to insert the tubes.
