Great looks, room for design improvement

"I've been using this pen as my daily writer for a few weeks now, and overall I am pleased with it, but there is definite room for improvement in this kit. Pros: - Cool, unique look. Really nice with African blackwood (see pic), or other dark and/or warm-colored blanks. - The nib lays down ink smoothly and evenly. A joy to write with. - I haven't had it long enough to say much about durability, but I expect this pen can take some abuse and last pretty much forever because of the solid metal design. - Without the cap, the pen is well balanced and has a nice weight. Neutral: - In hand, the pen feels bigger and heftier than it appears in the product images. Not necessarily a pro or a con, just something to be aware of. Cons: - While the size and weight of the body are nice and balanced, the cap is extremely heavy. The cap is actually heavier than the entire rest of the pen, even with the high density African blackwood barrel. The weight makes it basically impossible to use with the cap posted, but that doesn't bother me too much because I don't write with a posted cap anyway. Examining the cap closely, it seems like the cap wall thickness is greater than it needs to be, so I'm hopeful the cap can be lightened in a future version of the kit. - The pocket clip looks cool, but is not very functional because it's not sprung against the barrel (see picture). - The raw brass tarnishes easily due to finger oils. Some might construe this as a nice patina, but be aware the metal will not remain pristine. - The cap comes loose easily because of the rigid metal-on-metal thread design. A small o-ring can be added to keep it tight, but I think an o-ring negatively affects the aesthetics. A tapered thread design could theoretically fix this in a future version of this kit. - C3604 brass is not a low-lead alloy. The material is RoHS compliant because the levels are low enough for a copper alloy, but this particular alloy does contain 1.8-3.7% lead. I recommend hand washing after use. - Maybe some consider this a 'pro', but touching raw brass makes your fingers smell like metal, which I find mildly unpleasant. Overall I recommend this kit due to the unique aesthetics and nice writing experience, but with the above mentioned caveats and hopes for an improved version 2."
