    Billet Pens & Markers

    The ultimate form of expression, without saying a word…Choose solid colors or engraved with artwork. DELIVERED IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!

    Kickstarter has provided so many ways to express ourselves through uniquely-designed pens. The innovation has been amazing. We thought you would appreciate a way to make your “statement” even more personal with an artistic machined pen…. OR even a permanent marker!

    These quality pens and markers are 100% Designed & Manufactured in the USA, machined using aircraft-grade aluminum.  (Ink may be imported.)

    The pen you display on your desk or hold in your hand should not limit your expression; it should be an extension of it.

    Two choices of writing instruments: High-quality pens and high-quality markers. Both instruments feel comfortable in your hand and they make a statement with a beautiful, quality design

  • The Move – Mini Bolt-Action Pen

    The Move – Mini Bolt-Action Pen

    The world’s most compact and lightweight bolt-action pen. Stylish, durable and built to be carried with you everyday.

    I’m very excited to introduce to you my project, THE MOVE PEN. It is a mini bolt-action EDC (Every Day Carry) pen that I think you will love. I’m an avid collector of writing instruments and have been inspired by the many pen projects on Kickstarter over the years. For the last couple of years, I have been making efforts to come up with my own pen design that is both practical and unique.

    I decided to design an EDC pen because I have not been able to find one that meets my needs on the market. I think an attractive high quality pen that can be carried easily with us everyday is something that most of us need. I also enjoy the additional challenges involved with designing a true EDC pen given the additional limitations on weight and size.

    THE MOVE PEN is unique in the fact that it manages to have a bolt-action mechanism while being extremely lightweight and compact. It is a true EDC pen with a keychain/lanyard attachment point. It is machined out of 6061-T6 Aluminum and hard anodized (Matte finish). I decided to make it out of Aluminum Alloy instead of Stainless Steel, Titanium or Brass because it offers the best combination of cost, strength and weight. I chose the bolt-action mechanism for its ruggedness and reliability and because it is just fun to fidget with. The pen is designed to work exclusively with a standard LAMY M22 Refill. It is the only high quality standard refill that is compact enough to meet the design requirements.

  • Vintage Postage Stamps Pen

    Vintage Postage Stamps Pen

    Schimmel Fine Pens takes beauty and precision to the next level using a vintage collectible (Postage stamps) to create and amazing pen.

    As the world has become more and more digital one of the Historical Items of the past has faded away.  Vintage Postage Stamps tell a story of the times the were used in.  Many young people will never use a stamp.   I take these vintage stamps to make a very visually stunning and functional writing instrument.  Its more than a pen its a historical capsule.

    The stamps are carefully chosen, arranged, and encased in a crystal clear resin.   These pens are comfortable in the hand as well as beautiful to look at.  I am offering these vintage postage stamp pens with stamps from many countries.  This Kickstarter campaign will offer a way to introduce and expand this line of my handmade pens.

  • TiPeN Precision Machined

    TiPeN Precision Machined

    TiPeN™ – Doing Simple — Extravagantly | Write in Style | Will Last a Lifetime | Pen Refill Not Included | Stick it with Magnets

    TiPeN™ is small, comfortable, well-balanced, lightweight, and stronger than other Non-Titanium pens.

    My Story

    I’m not a fan of large pens and I love Titanium.  So where can I find a small Titanium Pen?  I couldn’t find a small pen that had any decent writing refill.  There are other Titanium pens on the market but are just too large for me, or EXPENSIVE!  So I set out to make a pen that I like.

    After my previous Kickstarter projects I was able to buy a small CNC Lathe for my garage, I bought it just for this project.  My Goal is to make the “Perfect” Titanium Pen, but also to make the pen affordable for Kickstarter Backers.  I want to get this pen in your hands, so you can see and feel the beauty of it for yourself. 🙂

    Yes, the TiPeN™ really is 100% made in my garage, in a small town in Iowa.

  • FireFly Pen

    FireFly Pen

    [ FireFly ] Pen – a Fine Quality glow-in-the-dark pen, allowing easier access in the dark and low light conditions.

    In complete darkness,
    The light of a FireFly…
    Can shine as bright as the stars.

    -Darriel K. Caston

    The blue-green [ Glow ] you see in the cap of the Titanium [ FireFly ] Pen in the pictures below were taken in low light situations after the Glow Insert was charged with a flashlight.
    Writing is an experience.  The flow of words on any medium is your thoughts, your ideas, your memories, your hellos and goodbyes that are manifesting into existence…becoming real.

    I love pens and I love flashlights and I love glow-in-the-dark products. A flashlight requires power, glow materials do not…they are charged by the light around us…it just seem a natural evolution to meld a pen with the elements of light.

    I have been creating designs on 2D CAD and out of my garage for the last 20 years.  When the capabilities of 3D CAD started to show promise I was intrigue.  3D software became another toy to play with and to develop designs…then came the ability to 3D print products…things started to really come together.  Designs that were not possible in a conventional  garage workshop, became a possibility with 3D software and sending it off to a 3D printer.

    3D software allowed me to conceptualize the wildest things.

    The first versions of the FireFly was designed on the computer and printed in 3D plastic.  But the ability to print it in metal was not refined enough at this time unless you used silver which was way to expensive and the plastic was not tough enough.

  • 1215 Quill Pen

    1215 Quill Pen

    A pen + letter opener that evokes a time when the pen was truly mightier than the sword. A bold, sculptural writing instrument.

    1215 – The Inspiration behind

    In today’s rapidly changing digital world I find comfort in having a few fine objects in my life that are tactile and sensual to the touch. I would like to share this object with you, the Twelve-Fifteen. It has been designed as a modern interpretation of the Quill and Ink well from a time not so long ago.

    Quills were the writing instruments of our forefathers for hundreds of years.  When I am writing, sketching, creating with this pen, it reminds me of a romantic time when information was transferred at a much different pace. One with intimacy and meaning. For me there is no better way to capture my thoughts than with a pen. The flow of ink onto paper, has a tactile quality that slows down time, allowing me to gather my thoughts, questions and Ideas.

    Twelve-Fifteen “1215” the name given to this object is derived from the year that the Magna Carta, written with a Quill, was presented to King John of England by the Barons of the land. They had had enough of his oppressive ways and demanded change, using the pen to trump his swords. This Magna Carta, or Great Charter has been referred to by historians as one of the leading documents to shape the western world we live in today. In fact the American Declaration of Independence,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_Independence, is said to be built upon some of the same rules put unto King John back in the Thirteenth century.

    The inscription on the Ink well of “1215” is positioned in the fashion of compass headings. The intention of this arrangement is to remind the user, that you are in control of your path, direction and destiny in life. With this pen, I ask you to take the time to write where it is you want to go, what you want to do, what is your Magna Carta?
