The Pen. Rewritten.

An advanced, machined, aluminum pen built around our proprietary ContinuousCam technology for a limitless creative experience.

The purest transfer of our mind’s content to the world happens when you connect pen to paper. Science has shown the profoundly positive impact that connection has on our ability to express, learn, and remember. Through invention, advanced engineering, and precision manufacturing, this pen was designed to inspire confidence in all you put forth; it was designed to rewrite them all.

The pen’s heart and soul is its mechanism. We designed a mechanism that’s as robust as it is crisp and intuitive. Our ContinuousCam technology allows for a clean interaction: a half-twist in any direction to extend the pen tip and a half-twist in any direction to retract the pen tip. Simple, predictable, and affirming.

The Triune Pen – This pen could save your life!
An aluminum pen that integrates a Fisher Space Pen refill, fire starter and glass break tip to function as a survival and tactical pen.

WHAT DOES IT DO?
- It writes with almost any refill you want to put in it. Using an O-ring to retain/center the refill and a set screw to adjust the bore length from 2.5″ long to 4″ long you are able to swap out the Fisher cartridge for your favorite refill in under a minute.
- It can be used to start a fire using fire piston compression technology. Inside the cap is a cartridge packed with enough tinder to ignite around 20 coals.
- It can be used to break a window in an emergency if you are ever trapped inside a submerged or burning car. The pen has a hardened glass breaker tip on the back that can shatter glass with a single impact.
- It can be used as a self defense instrument if some unfortunate soul tries to take your new favorite pen.

Since we all have different needs, I’ve created three unique versions so you can find the one that is perfect for you. EDC stands for everyday carry.

The bolt action mechanism was used for two main reasons:

1. Rugged & Strong – it is a very simple mechanism that has few moving parts and works perfectly for a pen. All pen components are made from solid metal.

2. Fast, Easy, & Fun to Use – Provides fast and easy deployment to start writing as quickly possible. You can easily open and close the pen using one hand (either left or right hand). I also have to say that it is fun to use and play with.

Groovy Pens

A Couple of Groovy Pens designed for Keychain EDC (Everyday Carry), Field Notes Pouches, Sheath carry, Pocket Carry or…

At this time I am making my pens on a very old (1930s) and well-built manual lathe. I love the thing. Every time I use it, I think back to what it must have been like when it was new. Lathes such as these were a staple in shops everywhere. The smokey and oil filled atmosphere and the sound of the humming from them all…ah the industrial revolution.

These lathes were used all over the world. The machines were used in every type of industry, in schools, home workshops and large manufacturers. They were used where the finest accuracy was required. Much of their success was due in part to trained and skilled machinists. At least 75 percent of the schools and colleges in the United States were using these lathes. Fast forward to today, CNC machines are just as common.

I would like to begin to utilize the technology of today and begin making these pens the CNC way. To do that, I need your help. I have found the right machine and have configured the tooling and programming and am ready to take my pens from levers and hand wheels to computers and controls but it’s all just a dream without your help. I have made a nice variety of rewards for those of you who are kind enough to make a pledge and help me get to the next century.

To be clear, this kickstarter is for equipment, a CNC machine with tooling to be exact. The goal level is set to the best of my calculations to cover the cost of the machine, tooling, and material…my time is free and I am not looking to collect the cash and hand off the work to a machine shop. All the money is being invested into the business.

Take a look at the rewards and please help me get one of my amazing pens in your hands.

Please note: The pens shown below in the pictures are the pens I’ve made by hand, they are a representation of the pens that will be produced from this campaign. The pens you will receive as backers will be made by the CNC lathe and will look even better.

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

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.
