I went to the lathe with a kit with no name...

Ha.. Now you have a song in your head!

Dawn gave me a sample to try out. She wanted my opinion. LOML loves it.... Me so/so.. Love the engraving on the bands, like the engraving on the top, but could loose the pimp stone. Then again I don't think I'm the target for any kit like this - I prefer plain like the atrax.

Oh, and for those who think a fancy picture setup is needed.... I kinda like how the pics turned out. A mirror, the sky and my iPhone - I think they turned out pretty good for not hauling out the big camera.

Very nice kit. I like the color, cool blank. I like the band and top.

Well done, sir. And thanks for the tune ...

Nice blank. Was it good to be out of the rain?

Dean managed to change the weather!! It WAS raining, now bright, sunshine AND ABOVE 40 degrees!!!

Nice pen, Dean!!

Rememeber, Dean: OVER 90% of our "show" customers are women. If your wife likes it, its a KEEPER!!
(I'm not fond of the stone, either!!)
Just checked, the Virage clip (which is available as a separate piece) would work as a substitute, so you COULD present two versions.

Fine looking pen! Like the beautiful engravings and the blank, really suits well the kit. Great job and photo as well.

is the kit slimmer than the sierra ?

No, I can snap one side by side, but this is the same as a "standard" Sierra I think. Same bushings and tube at least.

Looks like the Majestic Squire (which I like) but with different 3D bands and finial. A keeper!

I think the pen is a keeper. Just like the brand of "NO NAME STEAKS" that would be a wonderful way to name this pen kit.
Beautiful color on the blank. I would like to see this both ways. With a clip that doesn't have the jewel and one that does. Then it would be something that the customer can make the choice.
Hope that they will be avaiable when I have some free money.

Dean,
Nice looking pen.

I LIKE it! The thing that would influence whether or not I'd buy it is if a hot soldering gun applied to the back of the clip would cause the pimp stone to easily drop out. If so, I'd buy it, because I prefer the embellishments more than Sierra, Elegent or Squire.

I like everything BUT the pimp stone . And GREAT "down and dirty" photos, too.

Love the kit, but I'm with you,the stone has to go.
BTW nice touch on the turn.
