Review Title: Work of Art

The unique colors and patterns achieved on the barrel of this pen is absolutely mesmerizing. It is a complex multistep process done by hand. (yStudio has a great video showing the technique on their website). The finished pen, while significantly more expensive than other yStudio pens, is well worth the premium. It's really on the level of a Urushi pen. The classic hexagonal shape is comfortable, functional, and elegant. The Schmidt rollerball writes great.
