Black and Yellow custom order

[drgoretex]

Hello folks.

Here is one I finished today, a custom order made with black acrylic and black and yellow swirl acrylic. Black trim on the cap, with a yellow inlay on the ends of the cap and barrel. As usual for my pens, it is a cartridge/converter pen.

This one is a bit special, as the one who commissioned it requested (and supplied) an 18K gold Broad nib from Meisternibs. As Brian was out of his usual all-gold tone B nibs, he kindly supplied this lovely Edison nib.

Sure makes me want to make another of the same....for me

Thanks for taking a look. Comments welcome!

Cheers,

Ken

I just don't think it gets much better than this. Some might ask about a clip, but I think it would truly take away from the overall beauty of your work here. Color me impressed!

Really like the profile of the pen barrel. In all but one of the pictures, it seems to have a matte finish. Looks good that way too.

I like the end inlays, that's a nice touch.

A real beauty.

Great looking pen. I love the view in the second picture showing the shape of the barrel.

I tend to agree (a clip can break up the form of the pen) though I have to admit that most of the pens I use myself have clips - so they can stay in my shirt pocket.

Beautiful! I love the finials and the way everything compliments itself. Very clean! You've outdone yourself Ken. Sweet nib too :biggrin:

Ken, That is an absolutely gorgeous pen !!! Beautiful combination of materials and very appealing design. Hmmm....when you are making yours ..can I throw in an order for one with a red swirl :biggrin:. Doc

Heh...I was actually thinking of making a set of these in different colours just for the fun of it (including one in black with black and red ebonite). Would look cool together, and who knows, might spark some interest.

Cheers,

Simple and beautiful great job Ken
This is the kind of work that deserves to be on the front page because of its beauty
Not because of who made it.
