rubber grip?

[choirmaestro]

Hello everybody,

 

I was wondering if any of you knew of a particular fountain pen model that features a rubberized grip? AS my wife was borrowing one of my favorite pens yesterday, she commented on how smooth it wrote, but it felt insecure in her hand because of the finish. I've searched a little bit online, but haven't gotten anywhere. Thoughts?

Lamy nexx and nexx M, the brushed steel version of the Lamy Studio, Parker Reflex. All at the lower end of the market (I paid only £2.99 for my Reflex!) but I don't know of any upmarket pens with rubberised grips. I have to say, the Reflex is smooth; Lamy too, in my experience.

To me, the rubber grip on the Lamy Accent feels very nice (smooth but not slippery). The Accent comes with a variety of grip sections (and price tags), the one I'm referring to is pictured here.

I think the Fountain Pen Hospital catalog shows a new Aurora Talentum with some sort of soft grip.

 

Would this feel cheap in an expensive pen?

Pelikan Future has rubber inserts.

Parker Frontier - not sure about material but certainly "soft touch" type.

Come to think of it, there are not many I am aware of.

Is the pen she using right now with a metal grip? Many people have problems with pens that have a metal section, so pen with a plastic section could solve this problem.
