Same here! The yellow and black are very striking together. I also love the top flare. Beautiful pen all around!

Very nice. What makes up the white/black/white bands? Very elegant.

Outstanding work and I am with the others in liking this section the most.

Very nice. What makes up the white/black/white bands? Very elegant.

Thanks, Chris. That's "pickguard," a material used in making guitars.

After all is said and done, the 'Duofold' is still my favorite.

Been looking for a pen with a flared section like this. Where do you get one of these?

 

If you have any suggestions on where to find one like this but a little slimmer, please let me know : )

I really admire the lovely inlay work on this pen - it's not flashy, but gives the design great definition and interest. A bit like really good purfling on a violin... which isn't a completely dissimilar technique in some ways.
