Hi,

made these with M3 metal as a favour. Never made them before. Simple enough to turn. Clip adjust with a spring inside the cap. Magenetic band on cap and feels solid when magnet engages closed on if its posted.
Good quality kit i haven't made before. I just don't like the nibs as i don't think they are very elegant.

They look fantastic, with the M3, I can see what you mean about the nibs, but still very desirable.

Great looking pens & lovely workmanship :thumbs:

How comfortable are they to write with? The step down looks to be just where you would hold them to write

Thanks.
Thye look uncomfortable but it kind of works if you know what i mean.

Vince has them at the turners workshop, no idea how much i'm afraid.
I don't think he has them listed yet.

Terry, they do feel heavy. So i checked and the rollerball is 52 grams about the same as those bolt action kits. I weighted a sedona i made in Burr Elm and that was 40 grams. The blanks are heavy though.
