We admit, we have no idea what "hand turned" means (we're guessing it's like "hand carved" or just plain "hand made") but it sounds really impressive. We also really like that the pen's components are made of 24k gold. What can we say? We're really just gold diggers at heart...

is it the way it's carved whilst being spun, the way baseball bats are made? -diane
