Smallest pen kits available

[mobyturns]

Recently I had a request for a "ladies pen, think small like a 10 year old's hand size." Best I could suggest was the Lucida / Elegant Beauty which they reckoned was to large, plus they are not interested in a Slimline or other 7mm variant, modified or not.

Any suggestions? or recommendations?

Psi has a lipstick pen kit. It's super short, but fat (i think around 5/8") on half of it.

My wife likes the "Princess" because of the colored crystals on it. The tip end uses an 8mm tube but the cap end uses a 10mm. I have also made a few of the "Diana" (Exotic Blanks) kits which are a little more "slim" as they use 8mm tubes for both the tip and cap ends and although they still have a sparkly crystal on them, they are not quite as ornate.

Regards,
Dave

I would suggest the editor, or tiny giant, they are the same pen, just two different pens. I like them because though small, they still use a Parker style refill. They are also probably the lowest cost kit out there.

Thank you for the recommendations. I will check them out. Being in Australia the USD exchange rate and shipping are killers. Thankfully we are getting more pen kits available to Oz pen turners thru Steve's Woodcraft etc.

The PSI Credit Card pen is the smallest I've ever made. It's only 3-1/2" long overall.
