Beautifully done. Love your work.

In all honesty, I was confused with the title "Akihabara" because my first thought before seeing the pen was - is this a pen like the watch part pens, only electronics parts. I knew that would be a departure from your norm.

First time I have seen "red" as written as "Aki"; However, I most certainly saw some changed hatsuon or yomi when I moved from Tokyo to Osaka. I got into comical trouble :biggrin: when traveling into different areas of Japan as the pronounciation and readings changed from the norm.

Two Glorious Pens, Martin.
Magnificent Blanks
I love the side by side comparison of the two styles.
To see Your Slightly Tapered, Rounded Over Pen alongside the Straighter Sided Squared Ended Pens, really shows the Subtlety of their Designs.
Both Pens Exhibit Superb, Profiles and Proportions.
Outstanding Finish, and Incredible Craftsmanship.
Congratulations,
Brian.
