I bought the other pen in aluminum as well, I’m a big fan of most everything Pokka puts out. This brass one is very nice, feels solid in the hand and safe in my pocket. The machining lines are a little rough, however. Something to consider with these all metal pens is that you cannot post them without removing the metal end cap. A bit awkward to use with that in mind, but not a huge issue. Overall I like the pen a lot but I probably won’t use it as much as I do my other Pokkas. It’s a great little looker to show my friends and play with at my desk.
