The grip of the Pure Malt 4+1 has been changed to a Karelian burl. The pen is 0.7mm. It's finished with a beeswax wax made from domestic beeswax and jojoba oil, sourced from a beekeeper in Ibaraki. I purchased it and kept it for display. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection, as it has been stored at home by a private individual.
