Well the big brown truck stopped by the house around 9 this morning (being laid off I had just got out of bed). I was really excited to get my new pen... then I opened it. Hmmmm... black? Well... the ink is black... the end that is hidden by the cap is black but the body of the pen is more like a purple grey.

My buddy has a red one so I knew I liked how it felt in the hand and how good it writes already, so no isues there. I guess this will be my work pen (when I go back to work) and I will have to find a color that I like for EDC.

Problem solved... Just ordered a SS one (the 1100-4)

Purply grey for work... SS for everything else

That's the only way to solve that problem, get another one. I'm still trying to justify spending that much on a pen, I'm currently edc'ing a Zebra f-701.
