The Bhara is an elegant pen, as comfortable to hold, as it is beautiful to look at. This eddition has gunmetal accents, and is dressed in African Blackwood, wood from an African bush that is oddly not black at all. It is different shades of darrk brown and amber. It's translucence is amazing and, depending on the angle, it often looks like you're looking into the pen, as opposed to looking at it.
