The black one cost more than the blue! (I did get a black originally,
but in all this pen cutting and testing, dont know where it is)
The black one is also (oddly) a push action pen like a ballpoint, and
has a little flap-door to cover the nib when not in use.
Thats the only two the WHS sell, and the only pen supplier in my area,
we are not well catered for, unless you want ice cream or a trip up
the river, my town is useless.
