Big Ben Platinum Twist Pen Kit

Love this pen

I turned the carbon fiber pen blank (see review) for this Big Ben. I get nothing but compliments. Great weight and feel. I will be ordering more.

It's not a Cuban, but...

My customer obviously has good taste in pens and cigars. I made this pen kit with the dark gray micca acrylic. When I finished it and looked at it under my shop light it was like I was looking at a moving 3D picture of gray smoke against a black background. I told my customer it's name was "Old Smokey." He loved it!

The weak hand pen

Pen design is excellent for oversizing the turning to create a large pen useful for people with grip problems.

Platinum and Carbon Fiber...

This kit looks great with the carbon fiber blank. As always, easy to assemble, and classy looking finish.

platinum pen review

I really like this pen! It's a "Big Ben" style with the heft and feel that many folks want. In addition, the mechanism is smooth and precise. And the finish really sets off a darker wood like ebony or wenge. My only beef is that it is advertised as being platinum while it is actually rhodium plated (the disclaimer is that rhodium is in the platinum family - which it is). Doesn't matter, though - this is a great pen kit!
