  • Nova Minimal Fountain Pen

    Nova Minimal Fountain Pen

    “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”. A minimal fountain pen in solid titanium or aluminium.

    Precision machined from a solid piece of titanium or aluminium, the Nova is a fountain pen with a sleek, futuristic design. Coupled with a large, smooth #6 Bock nib (steel or titanium nibs available), it offers an excellent writing experience for both beginners and experienced fountain pen users alike.

     

    A fountain pen is a powerful creative tool. Considered by many to be the smoothest of all writing instruments, it almost feels as if your ideas flow more freely as the nib glides effortlessly across paper. By using only the best materials, a minimal design and an excellent nib, the Nova is about creating a pen that you will look forward to create with, every day.

    By backing this project you will be helping us create a unique writing instrument. Exclusive materials such as titanium need to be purchased in bulk, so we need your help to reach the minimum orders needed make this project a reality.

     The Nova Aluminium is available in Satin Black or Comet Grey, and the Nova Titanium in a polished machined finish. Both the aluminium and titanium versions can be ordered with either a steel or titanium nib. Sets of pens are also available (see chart below).

  • SS001 – Titanium Pen & Stylus

    SS001 – Titanium Pen & Stylus

    A compact and considered ballpoint pen and stylus to fulfil your daily needs – available in Titanium or Aluminium.

    The Product

    SS001 is the genesis of a new line of modern ballpoint pen and is the first in the SS Collection of pens. The aim with this pen was to deliver a high quality pocket sized pen which has been achieved by combining ergonomic design with modern aesthetics.

    Most pens on the market are over-priced and do not offer value for money. SS001 bridges the gap between cost, style and function. This was a motivating factor for me to pursue the SS001 and launch it on Kickstarter.

    There are a variety of pens on the market, however; few combine the functional classic nature of the pen with the modern needs of a stylus – the SS001 caters for this modern need through an optional component.

  • Sunderland mk1 – An Exceptionally Crafted Pen

    Sunderland mk1 – An Exceptionally Crafted Pen

    A meticulously engineered pen for those who appreciate finely machined components and superior quality without compromise.

    What makes the mk1 different?

    The Sunderland mk1 has several unique features that make it worthy to add to any serious pen collection or be the start of a new one.

    The Patent Pending Thread-On Cap:

    Our market research indicated that most pen enthusiasts prefer a screw-on cap; however, having exposed threads on the grip can be unsightly and uncomfortable to hold.  To solve these issues, we designed the threads to be hidden inside the tip of the pen, unexposed to the user.

    The Machined Clip:

    There are a lot of nice pens available, but most use a formed sheet metal clip.  We really wanted to avoid using stamped sheet metal parts on a high-quality pen, so we put extra effort into the design and manufacturing of the clip on the mk1: It is machined from a block of aerospace grade, 17-4 stainless steel.  This is the same material commonly used for jet engine components.  The clip was designed to take advantage of the extreme strength of this material, while maintaining the flexibility required for a functional clip.

    Designing the clip around a machined component gave us the opportunity to add features that are both decorative and functional. The clip flute adds style and was also used to help tune the stiffness of the clip.

  • TiScribe: Titanium, Copper, Brass Fountain/Ballpoint EDC Pen

    TiScribe: Titanium, Copper, Brass Fountain/Ballpoint EDC Pen

    TiScribe™ is a 100% CNC machined pen that comes in two versions: Fountain Pen and Rollerball. MADE IN USA!

    What Makes the TiScribe Different?

    TiScribe is a 100% custom machined pen made from high quality TITANIUM, COPPER, or BRASS. I looked at hundreds of pens when designing the TiScribe. Most had ugly seams, so they were removed. Most pens were plastic, so I went with exotic metals. I continued removing all non-essential components resulting in a ultra-minimalist/ultra-portable design. Below are some additional design challenges and how they were solved.

    • Titanium pocket clips standard on all pens (CNC Machined from Grade 5 Titanium)
    • A pocket sized EDC Pen (Only 4.5in long. Won’t spear you in the leg when sitting down)
    • Seamless Design (No ugly lines. Feels/looks like a one piece pen)
    • Each pen is finished to a high polish (Who doesn’t like bling?)
    • Threaded Cap (Built to last! Pop tops generally wear out)
    • Cap does not post (Threads on the rear looked ugly)

    Hope the TAKUMI PURE+ can be the unique writing stationery for you in the next 10+ to 20+ years.

  • The Patriot Precision-Machined Pen

    The Patriot Precision-Machined Pen

    Sleek, functional, and testosterone building military inspired pen.

    Dimond (Dy-mond) Point is based on the passion for finely crafted awesomeness and the testosterone boosting power of manly gear.

    The Patriot grip comes in two finishes. For the rugged manly man we offer a knurled finish for an extra grip-tight hold. If you are a stealthy special ops type of guy you have the smooth finish which is ideal for prolonged writing situations. Either way you will find yourself knee deep in pure manliness.

  • The Pen with No Name

    The Pen with No Name

    This pen combines 6061 aluminum & magnets with Montblanc refills to create a unique writing experience. MADE IN THE USA.

    The Pen with No Name is unlike any other pen. It is machined from 6061 aluminum, contains four neodymium (rare-earth) magnets and houses the amazing Montblanc cartridges (Fineliner & Rollerball). Combined with the optional magnetic base, this will be something you can proudly display on your desk at home or work, or better yet, one for each!

    While I designed the pen to house the Fineliner cartridge, it will also take other refills such as the widely available Pilot G2 using a small spacer. However, I would highly recommend the Fineliner by Montblanc as it will make you think twice about using any other refill.

    My focus is solely on building a pen, not a brand, so you won’t find any type of branding on this pen.
