There’s one of these. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
What you’re looking at
The head. Grape Fire: purple and blue bands run through orange, red and yellow, wrapped around the whole head. Across the top, the colors fold into a tight wig-wag that spirals into the tip.
The magnifier. One clear magnifier sits in the middle of the wig-wag and pulls the linework up close.
The carb. Boxfan calls this shape the teardrop. Its point sweeps to the left and forms an extended carb, so your thumb lands right where it should.
The decal. 24K gold decal on a clean, clear body. All the work is in the head.

Caring for your Helix
Clean it often with isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt, then rinse with warm water. Let it come to room temperature before washing. Store it where it can’t roll off a table.
