More cebloplast!
When I received an order for three cebloplast pens, and was sent the material (vintage cebloplast tubes), I liked it so much that I bought a whole pile more! Here is one of the colours that I ordered a number of months back, and have been wanting to try. It is not part of a pen order, and I rather like it - so now I have to decide whether I can bear to sell it!
This cebloplast is a cool mix of grey and blue, which is framed by the black cap and black barrel trip. For a more comfortable feel, I have avoided 'step' in the barrel diameter (which I usually incorporate in order to allow a firm stop when screwing the cap on). Instead, I have stepped the inside diameter of the cap, which allows the same firm stop.
The pen is fitted with a Bock medium steel nib, and is a has a cartridge/converter fill system.
Thanks for looking!

I'm intrigued by your putting the step inside the cap rather than on the barrel. Why not reduce the extent of threads on the barrel by increasing the extent of inside threads? That way you can leave a larger grip section free of interruption. (I didn't intend to be "anonymous", but don't know how to use the other profile choices in your comment box.

ReplyDeleteHi Jim - good question. There are some makers who prefer to have the threading closer to the barrel edge, and many who prefer them recessed (I tend to the latter, though I do make some pens the with the threading configuration you describe). Mostly comes down to personal preference. I have never found the threading to get in the way of the grip - in fact, I tend to grip the threads themselves, and find that very comfortable.
