Hi pen people.

Heres my signature pen model, a tribute to our much loved miniature schnauzer Rocky. He is black and silver and always wears a red collar. (When I say “wears” what I really mean is we put it on him, he’s not dressing himself yet).

It’s a straight-bodied pen with no step on the barrel.

The pen is made from cellulose acetate. The black Jowo nib is engraved by yours truly and the Argentium silver finial coin is done for me by somebody else.

Cheers
Ash

Excellent yet again, Ash. You never fail to amaze. I actually really like that pen despite it being acrylic.
No step looks good, that's the way they should be.

You should post a picture of a really crappy pen once in a while so that we know that you are human.

That's just about perfect. Nothing there that shouldn't be there, nothing missing, all put together the right way.

(And I say that even though I'm a "the clip maketh the pen" kind of person.)

I've been meaning to ask you - what make/model laser are you using to engrave nibs? (Guessing it's a fiber laser, not an LED or CO2, but I should wait for you to answer instead of trying to deduce it!)
