Here is a blank I made from a scrap of snake skin to small for anything else and a little Industrial Age clad blank. Comments and critiques are welcome and thanks for looking.

Sorry mate an entry into that competition you quote as a byline the lessor of two ideas, not enough skin not enough matching with the distressed look however its only a blank to make a new pen.
I happen to like all your pens up till this one mate.
Kind regards Peter.

Thanks Peter.
My wife doesn't like it either. I figured I would see how it goes over here. I like the concept and don't mind the pen.

Hope this doesn't offend... NOT a good match.
Different eras! different materials! different color schemes... BUT, I'd use it as a daily pen at my school!!!
Sorry...U asked! (The fit and finish was nice...)
I also admire your other pens... so nothing personal

I admire you for thinking outside the box and trying something different.

Honestly, it does not do much for me... I think that the casting looks great (I am not too good at that, lol). It is an interestig idea, though....maybe "distress"/ darken the metal next time, and then cut the snakeskin into strips?
I do like everything else I have seen, and would be proud to carry this one (good conversation starter!).

Sorry, I agree it is OK.,, the skin and metal doesn't enhance each other. Sorry.

Thanks for all the critiques. I have a few likes on my Facebook page so we will see if anyone wants to buy it in a day or 2.

On the Contrary, I think it is a Fantastic Pen, Phil.
Over the years I have lost a number of superb pens,
Permanently borrowed, by someone or ones, whose needs they considered were considerably greater than mine.
This pen is definitely the answer.
I think it is truly, "A Thief Proof Pen".
Obviously, your good wife also has excellent taste.

Phil, I'm not sure if I like it or not. There is a lot of glare in the photos. I do think you have a great idea.
