Just wondering if I am an old fuddy-duddy or if there are others out there who feel the same way?
I was just looking through a copy of Pen World Magazine and noticed something that reinforced an opinion I have held for a long time which is that a lot of today’s kits have long metallic grips that overpower the pen body, make them look very unbalanced and unappealing. A prime example of this is the Emperor Jr.
There is not a single pen in the March issue of Pen World that has a similar design!!!
My preference is strongly in favor of "classic" designs similar to the El Grande where the grip is not nearly so long and is black rather than a flashy metallic plating.
Please tell me what you think.
