Great, ultra-reliable, compact pen
I work in a shipyard as a QA Manager/ QC inspector, so I routinely write in the rain, upside-down, etc. One of my tasks is to render confined spaces safe for human entry before the start of work each day; I sign nearly 100 logs each morning. These space pen cartridges last years, and never fail until they're empty. Right now I carry a cap-o-matic in my jacket pocket, but wanted to also have a backup in my pants pocket. I chose the bullet because it wouldn't wear a hole through my pants.
I wasn't sure how I'd like the raw brass pen since other buyers had mentioned the patina coming off on their hands and the associated smell. This hasn't happened with mine. It looks really cool with no finish, and my pocket seems to actually keep it pretty shiny. Actually, when the "cap" is put on to the pen, it wears a spot that I imagine taking the finish off of a lacquered pen anyway. So in the long run, this will look better.
For years, I have carried a cap-o-matic, and I think the extra effort of removing the cap and installing it on the back of the bullet pen is a pain. The ultimate pen would act like a cap-o-matic and have the same size and shape as a bullet. Unfortunately there is no such thing (at least from Fisher), and the cap-o-matic is too big to carry in the pocket without eventually ripping a hole in your pants.
For now, I will continue carrying the raw brass bullet pen in my pants pocket, but I will also continue to look for a smooth, rounded, compact pen that doesn't require disassembly and takes Fisher Space Pen cartridges.

Great picks!
I've played guitar for many years, so I'm very familiar with picking technique. I was hoping to apply a long established skill to the bass, and still get a fingertip sound. These are very intuitive and sound amazing. I feared that "hard" rubber would be too close to delrin, but it's not. In fact, the hard is how I pictured the medium or soft. I've been using more bass synth, which requires a precision stop to each note for the best processing/ tracking. These picks allow me to play faster on the bass without sounding harsh, and still get the best results with the bass synth. Very pleased!

These are HUGE!
I expected these to be about 5" x 6" or so. Well, they're more like 10" square, maybe even bigger! (I didn't meaure them). I can't think of any good reason to have them so large. My daughter puts them together to spell a 3 or 4 letter word and it's too big for the table.
The box is very well made.
These are not "wood", but some sort of MDF type particle board that's not sealed on the back... so they are already starting to dish. They are big enought that they hurt when they land on your feet and my younger child could easily injuse my 3 year old with the sharp corners.
The set is really heavy as well. Way too heavy for a young child to carry around.
I will not be returning the item, as I'm still mostly pleased - mainly because there aren't a lot of alternatives with a true Montessori color scheme. However, I would not have purchased these if there was a measurement in the description.
