== Jefferson Pen ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Now, the Jefferson is really interesting. It's, this like striped metal. Now, this is a very executive looking pen. Um, I, I like it to look at more than I do to hold. Mm-hmm. Because it's got these like metal grooves all the way through it. It's not the most comfortable to hold. But, at this point, um, I'm buying these to collect them, not just to use them all. Mm-hmm. I have used this one. And, and in the hand, it looks, it looks really good. I say, it looks very executive. It looks like quite an expensive pen. Um, because of the way that it's been crafted. But, I wouldn't use it over the, um, the Lincoln. So, but I, I do like the Jefferson very much. It's a very nice pen to look at.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, that, that one, it looks like, you know, like you're saying, it's not a smooth, like a lacquered barrel or a smooth finish barrel like a lot of these other, uh, tornadoes. Yeah, exactly. It's, it's got the, um, yeah, like ridges. The way, the, the way the barrel's, um, done, there's different, you know, ridges and ins and outs.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's got some horizontal and it's a nice pattern. And, you know, it looks great. It feels great. It's, it's, it's heavy like the, the, the, the, uh, Lincoln.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I like, I like that. It looks like it's got like, um, like a pewter type finish. It's still not chrome. It's not chromed out. It's, it's a little more, it's a little duller, which looks better.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. So, it's, it's a nice dark, yeah, like pewter. Um, and again, it looks, it's darker in person than it is in the images that, that are in the show notes for, for, for it. But yeah, it's really nice. Nice. Now, the, the next one I bought was not from the new series. It's, it's one of their older models, I think. It may be new actually, but it's not, it's not from the metalsmith series. It's the bamboo version. Yeah. Um, this one is very attractive. Um, it comes in a completely different box. It actually comes in a presentation box, not a tin. Um, and it's promoted to save the rainforest. So, with the purchase of this pen, Retro 51, make a donation to the Arbor Day Foundation.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's cool. I've actually, I've seen a few reviews of this pen. And this is, actually, this is the pen that I think where I've maybe first heard of the Retro 51, because I saw a couple of people reviewing the, the bamboo model.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And it is really cool looking.
