Celtic Knot Question

[MainelyPens]

I have a commission to make a Celtic Knot (walnut) in Curly Maple background using a Cameron Chrome fountain pen. My question is would the knot look better on the body or the cap?
I've made Celtic Knots before using Funline hardware and placed the knot on the upper barrel but this is new territory.
Thanks

If the cap posts, then I'd put it there. That way they see the knot whether they are writing or not.

Personally, I always put them on the cap end of a dual barrel pen. To my eye they just don't look right the other way around. Of course there is no wrong way.

Cap end for me, too.

You could do both.

I don't really have a preference, but here's a Celtic knot on the bottom half. In some ways I like that a little better as you can see the whole knot without obstruction from the clip.

That's a good point. I don't think it would bother most people, but some enjoy uninterupted patterns.

Jeff,
Thank you, that's the route I'm going to go. The clip is an issue but moreover I was thinking with the Cameron when one removes the top and sets it down you still see the knot while writing.

Thank you all for your input. I guess I needed some reassurance.
I'll post a photo upon completion.

The completed pen. I'm pleased with the outcome.
Thanks for looking.
