I just gave the pen to him... he was surprised and delighted.
He had recently mentioned to his wife that he doesn't have a desk pen for his home office. So when he saw the new pen, he smiled at the coincidence.
He also mentioned that he's going to have a hard time keeping it away from his wife!
I explained the reasons for the material and color choices. I also gave him the choice of any other pen in my portfolio (mostly tru-stone, wood and acrylic). He eyed a black & white ebony euro ballpoint, but went right back to the ivory jr. statesman.
Funny... the first thing he did when he unscrewed the pen was to try to post the cap. I cut that short quickly, mentioning that with this style and material, posting makes the pen top heavy. I let him try some tycoons that post, and he agreed.
I think he may replace the black ink cartridge with blue, and I explained the reason for keeping the cap on a rollerball when not in use.
All in all, he's a happy camper.
I also said he should use the pen when figuring out the upcoming periodontal bill because it does 'sharp' calculations.
