Nice looking pen, but it's only a 400 size--kind'a dinky for a big, manly-man like you, with those burly, lumberjack-sized paws, no? Well don't despair, as luck would have it, MD is also offering nice Pelikan in the slightly larger 600 size, that offers a little more heft in the hand and, it's actually a few bucks less than this damn wimpy-sized pen! Now that's the good part--the other part is that it only comes in a kind of girly-violet color. But still, it's bigger and cheaper and, you know, violet's a nice color too, right? And don't worry--if all your other lumberjack friends try to make fun of you because you've got a somewhat less than alpha-male colored pen sticking out of your buffalo-plaid flannel shirt--well you just jack-in your your Dave Rusan, custom made, pearl-white, Cloud Guitar and look those boys straight in the eyes and say: "Honey, I know, I know, I know, times are changing!" then, rip through few power chords and say: "I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain!" and I guarantee, you'll have all those tuff guys waving their hands in the air and balling like babies, in no time.

PS: here's the rest of those lyrics incase you need 'em: "I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Underneath the purple rain
Honey, I know, I know
I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out
For something new, that means you too
You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain" Further inspiration:

RayFIt’s the Monty Python Lumberjack’s Song that’s playing in my head, after reading your first line. When posted, the M400 fits fine in my hands, but mine are not big paws. I was surprised that I have no problems with the M1000 either.

MrSharkbaitI have the 1000 too, but for me, and my gal Nell, the M800 is still our preferred size.
