Big Ben rollerball

[Chromey]

I'm happy with the pen, however, the PSI kit is a lil cheesy.

.... like most PSI kits, eh? :frown:

The blank is appealing but ......... somebody will like it.

I hear ya I was disappointed with how "loose" this kit was, the center "retainer" is cheapo plastic....I've learned not to use this kit again fo sho.

The blank is nice. I found the same thing with the fountain Big Ben. The plastic retainer instead of a threaded part is cheap. In fact I broke it the first time I used it. Probably won't buy it again mainly because even if they do go together it doesn't seem like the plastic piece will hold up for long. It is very brittle.

I noticed the gap between the top and bottom when the pen is open. Another problem with the poor design of the kit.

It was a stabilized spalted Hackberry blank.

unassembled

I decided to unassemble this pen, and use the blanks elsewhere, education is expensive.....
