I made my dad one with beads on the same as yours,and he said that he didn't like the beads on the nib end as they felt awkward when writing :roll:

its funny Paul, i like the beads, but in every forum i have put this photo hardly anyone has bothered to comment, so i guess most of them dont like the beads either.

Hi Steve. I like the work, but I echo Paul with his statement. I think the beads by the tip will make the pen awkward to use. Mind you I have never used a pen like this so this is only MPO. :roll:

the fit and finish look superb. i think design is difficult to comment on, its about your tastes, your customers tastes and functionality. if all of these are being met then all is well.
