    Big Ben Indigo

    This is one of the new Big Ben stylus kits from PSI. The blank is another Woodshed, called Indigo Midnight. The blank is dark, and the figure is subtle. It definitely looks better in person.

    Big Ben Copper Mesh

    This is a Big Ben (cigar) pen in gold and gunmetal, from PSI. The blank is from Exotic Blanks, called Burnt Copper Mesh. I had high hopes for this blank, and I wasn't disappointed. It's spectacular!

    Big Ben Patriot

    This is a Big Ben (cigar) pen from PSI in chrome and gold. The blank is a Kirinite Patriot. This is the first Kirinite blank I was a little disappointed in. Lots of pearl, but not much figure, especially in the lower body. Still, it made a great looking pen.
