Smaller size fountain pen kits

[Jim Smith]

I am making a fountain pen for my daughter for Christmas. I have a Dayacom Jr. Emperor kit ready to turn, but my daughter is somewhat petite. I'd like to have an option for a smaller fountain pen kit, but one of higher quality than the regular kits. What are some of the high-quality fountain pen kits that would work for someone with smaller hands?

Any input you can offer is very much appreciated.

Possibly Classic Elite or Diamond Knurl.

I like the Presimo as a smaller kit

I made both the Mistral and Leveche kits from Beaufort Ink (here), both high quality in my book, both less "bulky" than the regulars I know from Dyacom.

Derek or Dennis are smaller, lighter kits if you can find them.

The WoodRiver Metro at Woodcraft is a slimmer smaller fountain pen kit. It is available in gold and chrome finishes. I have made a few of these and they are nice for smaller hands.

The upside of the Mistral and Leveche kits that Fred notes above is that you can easily get upgraded nibs/feeds for them from Beaufort Ink.

Been a while since I looked but the Baron/Sedona pens were a little slimmer than the Jr series pens. Bushings and Tube app should confirm.
