I'm impressed too. I think the threadless idea with the black rubber o rings is pretty inventive. The entire pen is real sweet looking, and I like the clip. I do wonder how the clip is installed, is it threaded or glued? My only concern is that because the clip is held in a single round hole, whether threaded or glued in, over time it will begin to swing side to side..unlike Steves single round clip which attaches into the top the down around, which wouldn't allow for side to side movement. Bruce Robbins was telling me he had that problem when he first started casting clips, he would use one prong and glue it in, but it would eventually give to swinging so he added another prong below the first one.
