Pen and knife with oddly similar colors
The pen is from Shawn Newton of Hot Springs, Ar. It is a piston filler, made of a primary manipulation resin from Bob Dupras. The nib is a massive #8 from Bock. Unlike the knife, which is a dressed version of a production model, the pen is full custom. That is, it was made to my specifications and is unique. One can still order a custom pen, but full custom knives are becoming more rare - except at high prices.
