If this one is bigger than the 530, I don't think I can afford one-- however inexpensive the pen is, the team of bearers needed to get it from place to place is going to cost a lot just in food. Although... perhaps with a saddle just behind the cap, I can do away with the need for a car. :eureka:

I think I could be inclined toward that pen...

That is quite a large step from barrel to section... :(

Agreed -

And looks like a "sharp" edge at the very end of the barrel, above the threads.

Speedy, will you offer semi-flex nibs?

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Ransom Bucket cost me many of my pictures taken by a poor camera that was finally tossed. Luckily, the Chicken Scratch pictures also vanished.

Looks to me like it's well away from one's fingers, depending on how one grips a pen, of course. I, personally, don't think it'll be a problem, but we'll see. Certainly, there's other pens with similar steps. The Bexley Imperial International comes to mind, and I'm sure there are others.

I'd be happy to beta-test and see how the step feels (nudge, nudge speedy).

 

I'll second that! I'd even pony up some dough ;)

yea.. im not really feeling the design of this pen ... the barrel is ok but the grip (threads and above) just seem like a misfit to me ... just my opinion. I can imagine the sharp/ "large step" from barrel to section annoying me after a while.

Yeah, never thought about it as a request for a free pen - of course I'd pay ;)
