Light Travel Paddle from Ukraine

From time to time, some beautiful work or art, that is also a Morse key,
catches my fancy.Â* I recently purchased a small dual-lever paddle from
UR5CDX, for about $150 including shipping (surprisingly fast too about a
week via international post).

At home I go big and heavy to deal with my ham-fist which knocks keys all
about the desktop.Â* But when traveling (like POTA), size/weight becomes an
issue.Â* I havent used this key on the road yet, but I fully expect Im going
to have to hold it with one hand while sending as I do other small keys.Â*
That said, its almost too pretty to use.
