Damascus Steel Closed End FP

[Buzzzz4]

I was able to complete a special order today. This has been fun to practice and refine. Here is my final product going out to the customer. It is M3 Damascus Steel with a Jr. Series nib housing, band, and partial coupler. I step drilled the cap to allow for the cap to slide over the tennon on the body. This took two blanks which you can see from the difference in pattern, but the customer requested an extra long pen. Thanks for any comments, praises or critiques!

Pretty slick pen! It looks very professional with your great tennon. Amazing for m3 due to it's difficulty.

I like it... is the cap still threaded inside or is it "friction fit"?

I really like this pen! You did a superb job on! Very classy and a great shape. WTG!

All of the pens are amazing. I like the two blank look, they offset one another.
Great looking pens.

No friction fit, although I'm wondering if that would work in the future. Any ideas how to make that work? I used a coupler with threads from a Jr.


Gary, I do learn. The nib on this one is the consignment which is now sold. I will be stopping by soon to say "hi". The nib is what made the deal come together.

Thanks!

Fine looking pen Eric! well done.

Thanks for all the great comments. The nib was upgraded to an 18K from Heritance. Gary, having access to it and the knowlege about it finalized the sale for this pen collector.

Very slick!!! I'm not ( wasn't:wink: ) a big fan of the M3 stuff, but that looks very cool!!! I think it's the very first double closed ended M3 pen I've seen. Well done:good::good::good:

Very nice. I like the design and the implementation. In particular, the tenon is a very classy addition.

Yeah the way you hid all the metal components when the pen is closed is a really classy touch. Top notch pen! I am sure the collector will be thrilled!

Ditto, reminds me of one of Brian Gray's. I've always liked that look.

Excellent execution!!! The step looks fine, gives it a gradual change from the nib to the barrel.

Eric, very impressive from where I see it, a worthy pen for a collector, and I do understand what you mean about the nib sealing the deal, after all a quality work like that needs it to do it justice. Amos

Jeremy and others, thank you! I am a huge fan of Brian Gray's style. Some day I hope to come close to his execution.
