Very nice group of pens.
This is a good example of what you can do with the same kit by making some modifications.
I think I like the middle length best.

Thanks for sharing these with us.

Anthony-
nice pens and many thanks for posting the sizes. I like the options better than the original kit. Particularly like the balance in the midi.

I like the general style of this pen but I worry about getting a comfortable grip with that step at the nib end.

Very nice Anthony. Like the middle length as well.

I'm also a fan of the middle length version. I can also see how the other sizes would be attractive to some people as well.

For what its worth, I just sold two of the regular size magnetic cap pens in cocobolo five minutes ago, they never even thought of looking at the shorter ones. The concept of the "magnetic cap" was enough to make them buy the pens. I felt like I let these two guys off cheap as they drove away in a new Ferrari F430 []

Cannot fault your work. But, to me, that style is just plain weird. It won't be in my repertoire.

I agree with the others the modified ones look much better than the orginal. Very creative.Oh good job.

Hi Anthony,
you didn't let these guys off cheap. I will bet a 'pound to a penny' that they have friends who have ferraris.....and that set always look for the newest and unique.

They or their friends will be back.

I think I like the midi and mini. Both look really nice. I have made one of the standards, and was thinking about trying a shortened version. Thanks for figuring it out.

Very nice batch of pens. I don't care for the kit, but you did them justice.

Very nice looking batch of pens! I agree with Frank concerning style.

 

[Ligget]

Middle size is my favourite, thanks for sharing Anthony![]

Beautiful pens Anthony. I am one of the few that actually likes the pen style. The midi and the maxi are my favs, but I prefer the Maxi. BTW good job on the pens!

 

[rherrell]

I'm afraid I agree with Frank.

 

[drayman]

Thanks for the comments and opinions. I am making myself a midi snake wood for a carry pen to see how the cap holds up under daily use. If you are of the opinion it is ugly, I would not recomend buying them. I found, I generally sell only items I like. It is a lot harder sale, to sell something you would not own. I have a problem with some pen reps and pen companies. They come out with new pens that are just ugly and they expect you to stock them just because you carry their line. They get offended when I tell them I'm not buying them because they are ugly and over priced. [B)]
