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"

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.
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:
