This is a Big Ben (cigar) pen from PSI in chrome and gold. The blank is a Kirinite Patriot. This is the first Kirinite blank I was a little disappointed in. Lots of pearl, but not much figure, especially in the lower body. Still, it made a great looking pen.

Very nice. I love the blues in that blank. I too have had mixed results with the pattern on these, but the colors make up for it!

I think the Kirinite blanks have the best blue pearl. Very rich color, and it's the same pearl in the Patriot blanks.

That is nice looking. I assume the blank above is called deep blue pearl kirinite? I'll have to pick up a couple. Blue is my favorite!

Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah it is. One of the nicest blanks I've turned.
