Hi Jim,
Another nice pen! What do you think about the King click vs the Tenacious kit you also did in Coolibah a month or so ago?

The Tenacious is the narrower of the two, .434" vs. .453". The body of the Tenacious is a lot longer, 3-13/16" vs. 2-1/16", which makes it look even narrower. The King is a much older kit, and has an old style click mechanism. The Tenacious has a more modern, nearly silent Schmidt mechanism. The Tenacious kit is over twice as expensive. They're quite different from each other and except for both being click pens, they don't really compare.

That's a lovely pen, Jim.
Good rich timber, well turned and finished.
