First time I have seen these!

It seems like a very expensive kit, but it was interesting how they are selling them directly to Polymer folks. There is a pretty intensive set of directions that might help people out.

Looks ok but not sure if it's worth the price. At least you don't have to buy bushing or a bit. But putting any kind of finish on it is out of the question.

If you wanted to do anything but clay you would need bits and bushings and in my opinion at $54 for the kit in chrome is way overpriced.

My thoughts exactly. It looks like a kit that someone put together without a blank. They can keep it at that price.

We have other avenues for supplies and price comparison not everyone will have that. Its overpriced only if you know of other suppliers and have information for comparison. If you dont know about pen making it will just be the price and its a retail sale venue. Has anyone seen that kit from other suppliers before?

It looks like that kit is specific to that company. It you go to their website they are a pen company with pricing all over the place. I saw some of their pens going for $20 and some for over $600. Kaweco - license to write - since 1883 - English - WRITING INSTRUMENTS

I like the overall look of the kit (except the branding on the clip). They also sell some hex clips seperately for their sport series.

I think I have seen that one before. It could be worse I suppose, one of the pen vendors has a grossly over priced kit in the $200 range. When we looked closer the kit should be under $50. Just goes to show how many places like to do heavy markups on products.

at $54, that may just be JetPens price with their markup.

I would check out the retailer/distributor list and find someone close to me and see what their price is:

Way to expensive for me! Nice pen though.
