Looks like they have nice threads like the JG2's which is good however IMO that is one ugly kit!

I like the kit for it's closed end use, less than a jr gent but more possibilities

Why do you say that? I think it is rather elegant.
I'm not trying to pick a fight. I'm new at this, and I would like to understand it from your point of view so that I can broaden my own understanding of pen design.

I don't like pens with a lot of metal at the front end. I'd rather grip plastic or wood than metal.

It looks okay with the cap on, but with the cap off I see too much metal. The ballpoint isn't too bad though.

Don't all capped pens have about the same proportion? once the cap comes off, all metal?

Seems to be a knock off of the Jr.ll series from CSUSA, the clip,the nib even the drill bits are the same look, with out knowing the measurments of the bushings can't tell if they are the same. Would be curious if the threading is the same.
Platings are typical Berea.

Every time there is a new design ballpoint that is NOT using a "Cross" refill, I am glad to consider the kit. The simple, understatedness of design is a definite positive. Will have to get it in hand to evaluate further.

I like the look of the ballpoint. Might have to order one to look at it in person.

A large quantity discount? 
A large quantity discount?
It just seemed ridiculously cheap for that quantity break.
Must have been a misprint, now it's showing at 8.25, which seems more reasonable. Glad I took a screen snip or you'd all be calling me crazy.

Same drill bits as the JrG 2. Looks about the same.

The worst part is that the pen body seems to be tapered from one end to the other but the hardware doesn't follow that taper like a JR or full sized non-postable gent. All the hardware just looks so blocky and square.
That's just my 2 cents.

I don't think it's bad looking. Definitely worth picking one up to have a look at. Might be a nice option in the Jr size lineup.
