Help deciding on Copper or Stainless steel?

[ktk]

I am thinking to purchase a Hinderer pen. I cannot decide which material should I buy, Copper or Stainless pen.
Does anyone have experience of both materials?

Thanks

I only have aluminum and brass. That said, the copper should change in appearance over time with use (kinda like a penny), whereas the stainless will look the same. Depends a lot on personal preference.

The copper pen has a stainless strike tip...

I like the look of the copper and brass because they don't look as ordinary imo.

Copper for me... so far.

Copper is going to react to everything, and develope it's own character. I carry front pants pocket and it has really slicked and shined up nicely. A few character marks from being drop, no real patina except for under the cap, and a few spots in the grooves. If they sit untouched it will darken up a few shades. If you want something more durable, and show less wear, SS.

For some it's a matter of weight and "feel" tough to discern via the internet or descriptions. You may have to get one of each
SS will be weighty and durable (Brass is weighty too) Aluminum is really light (obviously Ti too)
Copper is certainly a beautiful (unusual) look.
I don't think you can make a mistake unless you hit the wrong weight for your liking.

Thanks for all ideas. I will take Copper as I love the look and feel when it gets patina and wears.
