A Pen, A Problem & A Question !!

[RBcarving]

So I turned a cross inlay and Liberty pen from Constant....nice pen with a good feel. A little short for me, but the rest of the family thought it was good.

The problem is a small crack on the clip end that I can feel in the finish (CA) (see the arrowed picture). Can only be seen from one side, when the light is at the right angle.

Question: What to do ?? Junk It, Fix It or Sell It as a Second ??

Thanks,
Brad

Me personally would fix it...I don't put out anything that has cracks in it.....if you can dis assemble and re finish I thing you will feel better.....just my .02 worth...You might be able to turn the clip ti hide it under it..

Fix if possible.

My #2s get put into the kids crayon box and they make good use of them. They have everything from slimlines, ultra cigars, sierras, etc in there.

Yeah...
That's what I figured everyone would say (and what I thought too).
Just needed a boost, as I hate taking things apart.

Thanks All,
Brad

As far as what Brian suggested would the clip move enough?
