Yes, I do love the Triton and have done numerous ones in silver but never in gold until now. This one speaks for itself. Gold Triton rollerball in Patriotic acrylic blanks.

Beautiful pen Mike! :good::good::good:

Your progress in just 1 yr has been tremendous! Way to go.

For the Tritons, consider removing the top finial and making a custom finial (Yea I know that finial is pretty...) Or use the Jr Gent, (that finial deserves to be removed :tongue:).

The custom finials add a nice touch, and will give added value (a recent thread topic) to your pens on your website (Nice site by the way).

I was hesitant to try the finials, now I do them as often as I can! After 5-6, they get easy.

Best Regards, Mark

Very nice, Mike!
I'm a Triton fan too - I'll have to give that look a try sometime.

Now that is cool. Just in time for Memorial Day. The combination matches nicely.

Thank you all so much for the comments. Pen making is truly a passion with me and gives me more enjoyment than I can begin to describe. I appreciate the help, friendship, and everything from my IAP family.

Mark,
I am definitely going to have to tackle the finial issue. Thank you.

Hi Mike.

My first few, I used Berea Tritons - the stock finial came out easy. My last batch I bought they are a different; looks the same, but the finial I can't get out - it looks like it is a solid piece???

I now use the Jr Gent when I want to make the finials.

Anyone else notice this? Or have suggestions for kits with easily removable finials.
