The ideal pen for the pocket or purse. Only 3″ overall length, 5/8″ wide with a great look and feel. 7mm tubes. Use 3/4″ wide blanks. The Chrome plating is ultra hard, gives a superb substrate adhesion, has a bright, attractive finish, and is stable and noncorrodable. It also gives ultra high metal-to-metal sliding wear resistance and provides superb abrasion resistance, even under high contact stresses. Plus it gives a very low wear rate (at least 100 times better than hardened steel or electroless nickel).
