Geta Rocket Red

[qquake]

This is a new kit for me, called the Geta, from Bear Tooth Woods. Anybody know what "Geta" Means? The blank is a poly called Rocket Red, also from BTW. One thing I don't like about the kit is you have to put the clip into the upper body. I'm a tiny bit underwhelmed by the blank, but it made a nice looking pen nonetheless.

Nicely matched, turned, polished and presented.
