Presentation: The pen is presented in a Lamb leather box, hand made in Switzerland, with certificate of Authenticity, and a lifetime warranty.

Comments: This one-of-a-kind pen is a remarkable achievement in combining some of the worlds most distinguished talents together on one piece. The carving and engraving was all done under low power microscope with over 110 man hours into its creation.

That is a beauty, but I the only thing I did was the nib (several years ago). I'd love to take credit for the other work...it's excellent!! / ~Sam

That is the nicest pen I have ever seen. Did Jose do the engraving/sculpting of the whole body? He is an incredible artist. Makes me want to throw away my tools and give up.

I imagine he did. I've never seen it before, and it's a killer piece of work!
Ray's done some nice pens and so has Tiz Pozzobon. I've never engraved one myself.

It's politically incorrect to judge a woman on such a shallow basis. You need to consider whether she is intelligent, kind, considerate, articulate, and has a great pair of personalities.
