This minipen features a click style mechanism for easy one handed operation, a short 4" x 1/2" diameter profile for compact size, and brilliant and durable chrome plating. The body is hand turned brown acrylic with rich red and black swirls that make me want to run to the ice cream store right now. Makes a great pocket or purse pen that takes up little space yet still offers the feel and features of a full size pen. Makes a nice backup pen for those that depend on having a pen handy at all times or a great only pen for those that need to carry a pen but want to minimize its bulk. Uses a minipen refill. Comes in a grey velour gift box and ships free by USPS Priority Mail.
