It's weak compared to modern steel alloys, but in it's day it was far superior to anything else. While I love the look of the Damascus blades ( I have several), the pens not so much. Maybe it's the way they were photographed, but looking at the link, they looked like plastic novelties from 1950s Japan. I'm pretty sure they probably look much better in person.

I would commit some extremely large sins for the Bat Knife.

The pen's style is very generic and nothing aesthecially different about it. I just like the damascus barrel. I would've really preferred it if he didn't have the soft grip area and extend the damascus steel all the way down. Frankly, I wouldn't use the pen but just store and admire it. I have a pen collection, in case I never mentioned it somewhere before.

I'm not a big fan of the pens either. But my wife is in love with them. They do look much better in person. The ones that haven't been blued are more appealing to me (they are two intertwining silver/gray colors).

I'm trying to save enough to get one for her for our first wedding anniversary.

I bet you could get the soft grip area omitted if you asked. I found out Ed also does fountain and rollerball versions, but they cost double the price of the more generic ones.

Yes in that case, what ever Mama wants, just for supporting your quest to be the village smithy.
