1/8” & 1/4” Aluminum Honeycomb Side by Side

[Pkweiss]

Both Penkits are MK2 Shakespeare - polished stainless steel. What size honeycomb do you like better? I'm not sure I have a preference.

 

[Rounder]

I think I like the smaller better.

 

[Super Dave]

I like them both ....

For a honeycomb looking effect I think smaller is better.

They both look nice but I think the 1/4" allows the resin to show off its multiple colors without too much aluminum getting in the way. For a solid color either look good.

1/8" for me. They all look great though!

I agree with JohnU. Both look good, but unless it's a solid colors the 1/4" shows more of the color. Both are very well done, Phil!

I voted 1/4 but meant 1/8th..both cool, but prefer the smaller size.:wink:

Both are great but I like the 1/4" a little better.

I like the finer mesh better ... based on the pictures you show.

I'll have to agree with most here. The 1/8 is awesome especially with a single color or resin with less prismatic affect. 1/4 is great for the muti-color aesthetics. Both are gorgeous and I can't wait to get mine

Just curious which one is most likely to chip out? I like them both.

From my experience, I find 1/8" more challenging.

I agree - The multi-color resin might not show off as well in the smaller comb. Both are sharp looking pens. Beautiful work.
