This is a Knurl GT pen in antique brass. The blank is a Rhino called Carolina Swirl. I rather like the combination of this blank with the antique brass. I have fallen in love with the Rhino blanks. I have yet to be disappointed with one, and you can't beat the price. Plus, at 7/8" square they're better for bigger diameter pens, which I tend to turn more of.

The lighting in the first photos showed off the blank more than the component plating. These show off the plating better.

Some more photos for Herb G. This is the method of drilling into the blank past the length of the tube, then cutting the blank to the proper length. This eliminates blowouts.
