Black TN American Classic

[alobotnad]

This is not my first pen, but this is the first one I've decide to post. The kit is a Black Titanium Nitride American Classic and the blank is an acrylic called Carrot. Let me know what you think. All comments (good or bad) welcome.

Very nice looking set of pens, thanks for posting!

Is that the same pen? Looks like two completely different pens. Nice job.

Nice pen. Interesting detail at the nib. How does it feel?

I like the shape of the lower barrel. I've never liked that particular kit but you've made it more appealing to me. Great job.

The pics are of the same pen. I just rotated the pen to allow the light to pass through the layers of the acrylic.

As for the shape...My first American Classics all had straight upper and lower barrels, but I never really liked having such a skinny lower barrel. I got the idea for the shape of the lower barrel from the Bear Tooth Woods website. The shape feels comfortable to me and I think it gives the pen a better balance.
