Hello all,
Every once in a while I get an order for a pen with a larger grip section, for someone who likes larger pens, or has big hands to accommodate. So I sometimes take one of my usual styles of pen, and kick it up a notch to the 'Big Hand' sizing. Such is the case with this pen.
The order was for a matte black Cigar style fountain pen, but with the larger sizing. This results in a thicker pen all around, of course, but most importantly for the buyer, it means a thicker grip section of 12.7mm, as opposed to my usual 11.5mm. This may not sound like much, but when it comes to grip diameters, it is a huge difference (see the comparison picture below).
(In this poorly focused comparison photo, L to R: Pelikan M600, The Big Hand Cigar, Sailor 1911 full size, and Parker Duofold Centennial. Missing is a sample of my standard size pen (oops) whose grip section is comparable to the Sailor 1911.)
This Cigar is fitted with a polished 18K JoWo nib, to be smoothed and tuned prior to shipping, and is equipped with an excellent converter for filling.
Thanks for looking!
Ken
