Evaluation pen - pic heavy

[hilltopper46]

I received a couple hardware packages from one of my suppliers for evaluation as to whether I might want to add them to the line(s) I carry. I put a couple Rhinoplastic blanks on them that I had in stock to minimize the finishing time. I did paint the tubes and the inside of the blanks, but I am not sure I would have needed to do so.

This pen is larger than the cigar pen but not quite as large as the old Havana BPP, and much more attractive than the el Grande BBP.

I like how the simple lines of the pen let the blank material speak for itself. Another plus is that the thickness of the blank material is substantial. This pen takes the Junior Gent bushings, but the writing tip uses the bushing that the cap end of the smaller barrel uses in the Junior Gent.

Anyway, here are the pics...

I like it. I like the lines and simplicity of the look. Is this a kit that is going to be available to all turners?

It is a kit from Berea, that is just being introduced. They have named it the "Atrix". Comes in a full family (rollerball, fountain and ballpoint).

I like the look. Is there any embellishment on the top?

I like the look of it over the cigar.

I will be interested to see how the rollerball version looks.

No embellishment, Chris. Plain and flat - a pleasure to put under the pen press :wink:.

That makes it even better. Thanks, Tony.

I REALLY like that kit. Simple but elegant.

I like it a lot.

How is the clip held in place? Is the clip and cap a single piece or is there a risk of the clip spinning?

 

[hilltopper46]

The clip and cap come seperately. Yes, there is a risk of spinning.

I like it, clean and simple. What platings are available?

Chrome or Upgrade gold are the choices.

Looks interesting, so who is the supplier?

Ed, do you have this kit or are you still waiting for them to get on the market?
