I hadn't played with Sierra kits. (Solution? I ordered sixteen of them in a variety of finishes. Hindsight teaches me that three would have told me what I wanted to know, but I have enjoyed them.) I wanted to play with the Elegant Sierra model - these are Copper hardware with Redwood burl, Chrome with Turquoise, and Gun Metal with Buffalo Horn. All three made me smile a little. Guess I'll get more!

Wasn't nuts about the copper either. The photo does not do justice to the burl - the striping in it is almost copper and looks moreso because of the hardware. Glad I paired them, but will be pretty selective in the future about using that particular kit color.

Choosing to play was good for us to see. Beaut pictures. All I see tells me these three pens were crafted in a superior way. Immaculate pens. I like clips but future pics with the pens turned to one side or the other allows better viewing of the blanks.

Had a smile also when I go to purchase I tend to get a bunch,see you suffer from this as well. These pens make excellent gifts or sales, only take half a blank.

Thanks for sharing Greg.

Peter.

Three lovely pens Greg, well matched kit/blanks in my opinion. Do try the Sirocco and Zeta kits - both very nice :thumbs:

3 really nice pens Greg. I like the elegant beauty & the elegance but my favourite at present is the zeta. I’ve not yet tried Phil’s sirocco.:thumbs:
