			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.dannzeman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/_mg_8993.jpg" target="_blank" rel="lightbox[253]" title="_mg_8993"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-254" title="_mg_8993" src="http://www.dannzeman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/_mg_8993-480x320.jpg" alt="_mg_8993" width="480" height="318" /></a>I received this pen from my good friend over at <a href="http://www.monbonvoyage.com" target="_blank">Mon Bon Voyage</a> (another great pen blog, check it out!). I don&#8217;t know anything about it. The only markings on it is &#8220;Alibi&#8221; stamped on the cap under the clip. There are no markings on the nib, barrel (inside and out), or anywhere else. The nib is steel and when I first got it the tines where touching each other which really hampered the flow. I opened them up and now it flows great and writes very smooth.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.dannzeman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/_mg_8994.jpg" target="_blank" rel="lightbox[253]" title="_mg_8994"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-255" title="_mg_8994" src="http://www.dannzeman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/_mg_8994-480x320.jpg" alt="_mg_8994" width="480" height="320" /></a>I had an extra converter lying around so I thought I&#8217;d see if it would fit. Sure enough it did, but just barely as you can see in the next picture.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.dannzeman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/_mg_8999.jpg" target="_blank" rel="lightbox[253]" title="_mg_8999"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-257" title="_mg_8999" src="http://www.dannzeman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/_mg_8999-480x266.jpg" alt="_mg_8999" width="480" height="266" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The pen is constructed entirely out of metal, which makes it pretty heavy and combined with its shaped turns it into a near perfect killer projectile. It&#8217;s almost as heavy as my Levenger Plumpster, which is great as I prefer heavier pens. The only thing I would change to improve this pen is to move the rubber o-rings from the barrel to the section to provide more grip on the metal surface, a great suggestion from the author of <a href="http://roossinck.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Brassing Adds Character</a>.<a href="http://www.dannzeman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/_mg_8998.jpg" rel="lightbox[253]" title="_mg_8998"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-256" title="_mg_8998" src="http://www.dannzeman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/_mg_8998-480x320.jpg" alt="_mg_8998" width="480" height="320" /></a></p>
