Man, what kind of chisel do I need to turn a diamond pen? Really, really, really sharp HSS?

What, no pic?

I guess they used an Emporer Kit.
Can't tell without the picture.

I guess I would have to see it in person, because those pics would in no way inspire me to want to own one of those pens.
Thanks for the link Gerry.

Gerry,

Thanks for the pics...I must say it would look good peeking out of the pocket of my IAP shirt...[]

Would definitely get some "So what's that pen in your pocket?" comments.

That is what I was thinking!

Thanks for the picture, now I know I wouldn't want one, those diamond dandruff flakes don't do a thing for me. Looks like I will have to save the $$ for more pen kits.

Gerry,
Actually that is an Ugly Pen... not anything like what I see on this forum.

Federal Government grants?

Let's see, a bunch of diamond chips, cobalt blue plastic, 18kt nib...Sounds like a right nice $1000 pen. Add: Limited to only 3...Sounds like a nice $10000 pen. Montblanc's name and reputation...yep, sounds like $170,000 alright. I also bet it will sell for $1 million within 10 years.[8D]

I think I still like the $250,000 Jade pen better. But then I have a thing for the orient.

It proves you can sell the sizzle and not the steak if the buyer is hungry enough.
Without the Mont Blank name it is worth a little more than the weight of the precious metals(AFAIC)

This pen was in my local paper today. Even uglier in black and white.

Can't see what all the fuss is about. Frankly I wouldn't want it. Way over the top in sickening fashion.

Theres a $25,000 Gameboy. Just as lame as that pen, but at least you get to play games.
