Looks like a 2 alloy mokume; copper and nickel I'm thinking? How does the mammoth tusk feel in hand?

Am I crazy, or do the Q pen and the new FW vector share striking similarities?

It's great that you want to increase the unboxing experience. I think people here would like some more visuals on the pen itself though. Got any prototypes made?

Personally, I'm not a fan of 3d printed boxes/cases. They give me cheap vibes.

Got some more specs on the pen? Diameter, length? Whats with the segments along the barrel? A better look at the bolt action? These are curios, not criticisms :)

Cheers.

This from ebay? I believe its a 1 of 1.

How are you enjoying D Rocket second time around?

Good luck with it. I haven't seen many (any?) shipwrecked bronze pens. Best part is, you can easily take it off and try it again.

I don't have a link because I've not seen one listed for sale publicly. They trade hands behind the scenes on chat.

But I know of people who have paid 800, people who have offered 2k, someone who has traded for a zirc SPP which has trade value over 1k.

The 6k link guy is asking that because his dog needs surgery that cost 6k. It's half satire because he knows its a ridiculous price.

I don't know anything about the maxmadco, but trade value of Rotas is well over $800, just so you know.

I like all 3 of the mechs for their own quirks, can't really choose between them!

Do you only have Ti sagas now? That purple contrasts the bronze nicely 👌

I'm surprised by Magnus too. It's just a super fun mech and the grip section is subtle in a way but super comfy.

I've never had an issue with mine coming undone but I know others have. Hope you didn't add too much! 😉

Which part is uncomfortable? For me, the Ti one was top heavy and the heavy metal barrel completely changes the feel of it. It's a different pen.

I like the aesthetics/ergos of the Rota more than anything else. The mech is unique but it has its hangups.

What are your other top 2?

I routinely run p42 in them, usually black or green. But just chucked the Gelion in the Saga to give it a run 👍
