Great minimalist style but has some (personal) drawbacks
"2.5 stars as pros & cons balance. I like the pen but some characteristics to be considered. Pros: Super easy kit to assemble great minimalist style (glad no clip as I put it in a folio) robust weight metal threads Cons: (note most are personal and perceptive) Cap is crazy heavy compared to rest of the pen. big imbalance with cap posted on rear while writing - leave it off suggest using heavy blank to balance weight have to press relatively hard for fountain tip to leave good ink. threads are aggressive pitch and you need to screw the cap on pretty tight to keep it from becoming loose. Should be a slightly finer thread."

Great looking, but heavy.
"Awesome looking kit. Easy to assemble. Writes smoothly. The cap is really heavy, but the uncapped part feels great in the hand. I wish it had a clip option like the brass version."

Turned two of the four so far.
"I really like these kit's. I've turned the aluminum and the stainless steel so far. I both like and dislike that there isn't a clip on them other than the brass, but that comes down to personal preference. The aluminum is extremely light in weight. While the stainless steel and the brass are a bit heftier. It has a longer tube than most so you get to see a lot of the material."

Great beginner pen
"Had not turned anything for about nine years, this seemed like a good kit to relearn with. EASY kit, solid stainless, no plating to fail. Try one. Crosscut walnut, lacquer over BLO."

Nice pen. But some things to be aware of.
"I made this pen for myself. And while I haven't used the other RAW pens, however this could probably be said for all of the RAW line. Some of this is subjective. Pros: Weighty, feels good in the hand (if uncapped) Minimalist looks. Not to thick, compared to some other pens, this fits quite well in the hand. Cons: The cap is WAY to heavy. its very fatiguing to write with this. so I suggest leaving the cap off when you write. The nib by default is very scratchy. so i suggest replacing the nib. The directions are wrong. In the directions it states that the pens uses a #6 nib, when in fact is uses a #5 nib. So be aware of this. I do like this pen after tweaking it. but beware of the issues before you buy it."
