Blue Crush Cigar-Style Fountain Pen



Here, fresh off the bench, is my latest finished custom order, a cigar style fountain pen in the rather striking blue crush acrylic.  The order requested that the nib section be a little longer than my usual, and that the cap and barrel be closer to the same length than my previous cigar pens (like this black ebonite one).  

I tapered the barrel just a hint more than my previous cigars, and am rather happy with the result.  Must do more of these and play around a bit with that.




The pen is fitted with a polished steel JoWo broad nib, and is a cartridge/converter filler (converter already in the pen).

I keep coming back to this blue acrylic, and keep loving it.  One of these days, I'll make one for me.

Thanks for taking a look!

    I agree on the blue acrylic, very nice vibrant color. I really like the cap and barrel the same thickness, it adds to the smooth overall style. Another very nice offering Ken!

    If I made pens for a living or a hobby, I'd have serious issues... in that I'd keep them ALL. This is a gorgeous color. Great shape as well.
