This one is dyed charcoal, it's a cross-cut, but milled down really well. It's a little more pregnant than I normally like, though. Whoops! I'm still happy with the color, though! The flaming really sticks out.
I really like the pen, the dye job is super and I love the Carbera/Polaris ,with a gel insert that's my favorite pen, outstanding job, by the way any body tell you your photos ROCK [][][][]
