The Squire Hex is Baron Fig's latest addition to the Squire pen series that includes the original Squire, several limited editions (including the hexagonal Oracle Squire,) and the Squire Click, many of which I had the opportunity to review in the past. The Hex features a six-sided aluminum barrel finished in either Black, Blue, or Green with a polished metal flat-head twist mechanism at the end.

I actually took a little side quest to find a more suitable refill for my needs, more on that next week. Check out the gallery at the end of this review for some Schmidt writing samples on various papers.
