Hooded nib pen in black and brass

Completed the pen, lots of indecision about the cap and clip though! The solid brass clip came up too stiff, so used this flat clip. The full pen is 155 mm and 13 mm at the barrel max. The cap is slide fit but no snap fit. Writing test done, Kanwrite 51 is a very smooth nib, pen is quite well balanced. Cap posts very well. There are quite a lot of metal in the pen, final weight is 38.6 gms. Next couple of pens in this design would try to make slimmer , shorter and within 30 gms ...will see how those come up.

Hope you like the design. Kindly let us have your comments.

Material is black pmma acrylic rod.

Two more pens in brass hardware and ebonite

Made these two pens with handmade clip and trim. Kanwrite 35mm nib unit and Jinhao converter used. Minor flaws in the cap finials remain , to be dressed up by hand later. These are based on the same design as in the last post, but have minor variations.

One recent pen I have made.

This is one more of my handmade pens with own handmade brass clip. Kanwrite 35 mm nib unit and Schmidt K5 converter used. . I have ink tested the pen, balance and comfort are alright. The brass couplers and accents seem to enhance the otherwise subdued colour of the olive green with black rippled shade of the ebonite. Hope you like the design.

Recent made pens

Two pens made after a long  break. By now I have learnt to make the clips. Now on my pens would not have purchased clips. Here are the pens.
