Below: The section has an unusually deep pinch--not to everyone's taste, I'm sure.

Below: This is a #6 Meisternib, but unlike the plain Meisternibs I usually use, this one has "Made in Germany" inscribed, has a noticebly nicer polish, and differences in the feed and holder. The feed does not have "wings" or flared shoulders, there's a deep channel on the bottom, and the top of the holder has a larger 10 mm diameter.

:RockOn: Robert; On another thread there is a question about kit and kitless pens. Several people say that kitless pens are to plain and don't have enough bling for them. On some pens I have seen, they may be correct. On your pen, however, the clip is just enough metal so as not to take away from Ed's fantastic blank and your expert craftsmanship. Your choice of color and mix is beautiful !! Any more rings or bands would throw the whole desigh off. Great work !!! Peace !! Jim S

Another nice pen Robert. I really like this one. That section is unusually different from what we're used to seeing, for sure. Beautiful finishing as usual.

That is just a work of art. I like the pinch on it that makes it different! I like the way the blank colors work together also! Very nice piece!

Another beautiful pen Robert !! I love the contrasting colors of the finials that ties the pen together with the blank. I really like the accents on the finials. The craftsmanship is outstanding and the finish superb!! Regards, Doc:)

Wow that's a beautiful pen! I love how that blank turned out and it has a great shine in the photos. I've tried for more of a curve or "pinch" in my sections but I usually scare myself out of going too deep for fear of busting through.

An absolutely beautiful pen Robert. :highfive:

I have to admit that I'll be sitting in the near empty bleachers set aside for those few that would like less pinch in the section.
