Anyone seen these yet? Pretty slick looking if you ask me.

Oh, and one more cool new thing I found in their catalog.

At $9.95, that could really push a high end pen sale over the top!

I do like the style, but I haven't made the plunge yet. It's not just the kits, its bushings, drill bits, tubes, blah blah blah. I think it has potential but I want to know if they are high quality or not. There are a few other kits that I like for the style but refuse to make because of assembly issues or operating flaws. Anyone actually made a sceptre yet?:confused:
 
Actually, same goes for that box....has anyone actually bought one and is it of at least moderate quality? You can assume for that price it's some sort of laminated box from Taiwan, but is it half decent? And if you tell me to just buy one myself then go smoke something. I can't tell you how many crappy cases I have lying around that I don't even want to give away to family members they're so bad. All I need is a little "yeah it's worth the $10".
 
I bought a couple of the boxes just to see how they were. For $10 I think it's a pretty nice box and you can order inserts to fit specific kits. I would say the quality was a little better than what I expected for the price.
 
I like the pens, which are an adaptation of David Broadwell's designs. And Broadwell is one of the best. This design offers a lot of opportunity for ornamentation. When I get back in the mood for that I'm going to order a few and see what I can work out.

These pens were actually designed by David Broadwell. David lives just a few blocks from me...we've been friends for many years now. I knew David was designing some pens for PSI but didn't know what they were until he brought me the kits, asked me to make them and tell him what I thought. That was the genesis of the review I posted which was planned to coincide with their release by PSI. He may be doing more in 2009.
Do a good turn daily!

I bought the box in black and Rosewood. They are very nice for the price and really show off a high-end pen.

Drat, another long skinny metal section...

Dan, at least the front section isn't straight or a tapered hex, there looks to be a small grip indent which really adds to the writing comfort, but it would be nice if there were a black plastic, or wood contoured grip, If I do very well at my next show I may buy one or two and see if I can do any thing like I've see you geniuses do.
