Dupont Star Wars X-Wing Rollerball Pen, the pen is indeed a toy, or if you will, a scale model. Interesting notion there. I wonder what struck S.T. Dupont’s designers to come up with this novel pen. Obviously, no person can write comfortably with a pen that has a form of a X-Wing Fighter. Me would think it will be impossible to hold. Continue reading S.T.
