Vertex Steel Cap

Vertex Steel Cap  

I had made this pen much earlier but might had forgotten to post in this blog. It is made with Vertex magnetic steel cap Kit. The section is octagonal , good looks but very awkward to write with. Hardware is rhodium plated Chrome colour.

Inspected and tested this pen after quite some time. This is a reasonably well made pen, in reality there is not much for  the turner to do in this pen except the barrel tube.  Rest is supplied in the hardware.

In this one the parallel barrel wooden tube is slightly oversized in diameter than the end couplers. This affects the look of this pen. Perhaps I  would need to find a way to bevel down the ends.

The pens wooden part has retained the CA finish quite well.. Overall this is fine looking pen, but to a trained eye the flaw in the barrel machining would become apparent.

Writing was smooth and easy with the iridium point nib. I found that holding the pen at the section coupler gives a more comfortable grip.

A fine pen for the collection.
