Well I did it and I'm pretty pleased. :D Ocelot blank with homemade stainless steel hardware. A heavily modified click pen.[xx(]
The shape will help my Mom hold it, as she has arthritis in her hands. This was my most challenging pen to date, even the click mech was modified. The hardest part to make was the click button (plunger) as I broke two 4mm taps inside the first two attempts[}:)]

Hi Steven,

Nothing is more satisfying than making a pen for a person with a unique need.....this pen is very much that...and you also created a wonderful flowing design....cool pen, I bet your Mom starts to write a bit more too, now that her hand will rest on the pen that was made by your talented hand.

Bravo![;)][;)][;)]
