A beautiful case that's appropriate for all kinds of pens (i.e., the design is such that the case isn't limited to displaying Retro 51s). The acrylic clear cover is held in place with small magnets, which means the case is not designed for carrying around as the cover would easily dislodge with any movement.

This was a well-received gift. He said he especially appreciates the design details, the materials with which the pen were made, that it has a very nice heft and he loves how it feels when it writes. He has a few from Pen Chalet and so far this is his favorite!

The Retro 51 "Brutus" is a colorful and well designed pen. The comb & scissors picture on the too of the pen is a great addition to any barber pole design!

This pen is the best rollerball I've ever owned! It's smaller than I thought it would be, but it's a sturdy pen that writes wonderfully

As we live about 50 miles from the "Wedding of the Rails" site, and have seen the replica 119 under steam power, this Reto 51 was a special piece.
Pen Chalet is always right on top of the latest issues of Retro 51s, and their delivery is quick and always on target.

I bought 3. Engraved tread pattern is cool. Nice to hear Retro 51 will continue to be produced. Very collectible. Multiple limited releases annually. A good every day pen that won’t break the bank.

I have the bamboo pen and while I really enjoy the look and feel of the pen, I don't use it much - I almost always reach for either a different Retro 51 Tornado or a different pen entirely.

Given as a gift because I enjoyed my "Typewriter" pen so much! These pens are weighty, well constructed, and comfortable to hold. Oh, they also write well.

Tornado Poppers (in rollerballs) make the perfect gifts for my friends who are not partial to fountain pens. I can find one that suits almost anybody in design, and they all function superbly.
