Thread: Pen kits for smaller hands?

A couple of readily available ones that come to mind, are the Slimline and the Lucida from Timberbits, also his Australiana Elegant Beauty which is built on the same frame as the Lucida.
One that I have made in the past, which I really like but is hard to obtain, is the Coyote from Lazerlinez https://www.lazerlinez.com/collectio...of-liberty-pen , very light and high quality. Trouble is that I heard he is moving premises at the moment and hasn’t been making his pen parts, not sure when he will restart.

We wish to avoid the 7mm tube pens if at all possible. The "European" from Timberbits looks OK.

I have made quite a few 'tiny giants'
They're an 8 mm tube - I much prefer these over a slimline...

If you're only chasing one I'll shoot one in the mail for you if it helps? (Tony at perfect pens did have some but may have run out now)

Bushings may be the only issue but we can figure something out.....
If it looks like it'll suit your purpose

I did a European last week and Gess Wot? It had a 7mm tube. I have the opposite problem - son and grandson with hands like baseball mitts!

I don’t like the European much, I find the tenon fiddley to get right, and the lower barrel looks undernourished to my eyes. But everyone has different tastes.

Thank you for the advice. I was thinking about size, hadn't considered the aesthetics of the kit. I have one here to try and did know they are based upon the 7mm tubes.

The slim line or the comfort or streamline kit all good for small hands
