Notes about pen kit finishes: 24kt Gold Pens with 24k gold plating usually wear very quickly most have a coating of epoxy on them to help extend the wear life of the pen.
10k Gold pens with 10k gold plating wear better because the gold is mixed with hard nickel to form a more durable gold plating with is also cheaper. wears better than 24k gold.
Chrome pens, Chrome is used where there is alot of everyday use such as key rings, very durable and looks great at cheap price. Chrome is very shiny and very good looking. Wears better than 24k or 10 k gold
Black chrome. These are pens plated with a black color plating. The black has a soft sheen which is attractive against light color woods. It is more durable the 24k gold but less durable than 10k gold.
Satin pens get a plating that is a matte finish and gives a satin look to the pens, The finish has a slight texture to the feel of then. This more durable than 24k gold and less then 10k gold slightly more durable than black chrome.
Black Titanium pens are coated with a titanium plating which looks good and is very wear resistance. This finish give one of the most durable finished to pens.
Rhodium plated pens are the top of the line and the best looking pen kits available on the market there durable is equal to or better than Titanium. The appearance is the great.

o turn. There are a little on the expensive side $8.99 per blank, but in this case well worth the money. The blank was finished using micro mesh sanding pads up to 32000 grit. I then used a light coat of wax. This makes a great pen.
