These are Virage pens . One in gunmetal and one in chrome. They are wrapped in 0.25 carbon fiber sleeve, cast in resin, turned and polished with Novus.
Thanks for looking.

Very Nice!

Looks sleek, quick and deadly......

I like the Gunmetal but am curious as to the plating durability of gunmetal?????
Any opinions Brian????
 
SWEET!!!!!
Gun Metal is my fav
First pen i turned was a slimline gun metal over a year ago, still looks good, no wear, use it about 3 to 4 days a week at work.
Done a great job on those Brian, gonna have to get a virage or two

Like the carbon fiber. Do you like the .25 sleeve better than the .5 or have you had a chankce to try the larger. I find the ends are where i have a problem thinking the .25 might fit tighter

Nice Pens!
I like the carbon fiber on these.
I have made a few of these and found they are quite nice.
Not wanting to start a thread war but thought I would add my .02 worth.
The gunmetal as you say is actually Black Titanium as they do not make a gunmetal.
The Gold Titanium is only crap when you put a buffer to it, why you would want to I don't know but, no plating will hold up to a buffer.

I am sorry. These pens used the .50 not the .25. I dont think it would be possable to get the .25 over this tube.

The gold I received came from the factory pre crappy I did not do anything to it. 2-3 out of the five I received had faded and splotchy spots on them.
