  • 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.

  • 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 unique name of Dimond is derived from a deep heritage of Swiss quality and craftsmanship. The Patriot Pen looks to carry on this passion for precision right here in the good ole’ US of A.

    Every man needs gear that not only works well, but also testifies of his complete studliness. Backing this project will show your heightened sense of style and quality, and will ensure that every onlooker will know you are a man with real mettle.

    The Patriot Pen is a lightweight, unique tool that doesn’t just write well—It looks killer doing it. The Patriot Pen is machined from high-quality military grade 6063 aluminum. It’s anodized black, achieving a rugged Type III hardness, and is sure to handle the abuse of even the toughest user.

    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.

  • Nexus Minimal Fountain Pen

    Nexus Minimal Fountain Pen

    Sometimes less is more. Stripping an object of all its non-essential features can deliver a more direct, raw, uninhibited experience. It’s like shooting with a film camera or driving a sports car. It is more uncompromising, yet infinitely more authentic and exhilarating.

    What if we achieved this level of experience with a fountain pen, an instrument that means so much for creative expression?

    When we designed the Nexus pen our goal was to uncover the essence of the writing instrument, to simplify it, keeping only that which was strictly necessary, in order to obtain the purest writing experience possible.We wanted to create a pen that would allow your creativity to flow unhindered.

  • CB + P (CounterBalance + Pen)

    CB + P (CounterBalance + Pen)

    If you want a unique precision writing instrument, unlike any other pen on Kickstarter, then the CB + P pen is for you.

    When a writer or illustrator picks up a premium pen, what’s the first thing they do? Feel for balance. Ink refills, tip size and ink color can be changed. Until the CB + P, a pens balance was set forever. With the CB + P, you can set the pen’s balance! No more “one-size-fits-all” weighted pens! Now you can truly make your pen, yours. How you want it to be balanced!

    The CB + P is designed around the Hi-Tec-C refill and is compatible with the Fisher Space Pen, Pilot G2 and the Uni-Ball Signo 207 refills.

    The CB + P Locking Thumb Screw:

    • Has a smooth rounded tip which glides effortlessly along the length of the pen barrel.
    • The locking screw is also made of aluminum which assures the pen barrel will not mar (I’ve tried!).
    • The amount of finger pressure needed to “lock” the counterweight is minimal.
    • The aluminum thumb screw head size is designed to be adjusted with thumb and index finger while holding the pen.
  • Totem Pen

    Totem Pen

    It’s a Pen. It’s a Top. It’s a way to relieve the boredom of conference calls and meetings.

    The Totem Pen series combines a high-quality writing tool with different types of spinning tops. The pen trilogy consists of three different pens: Tippe, Totem and Teetotum.

    Do you spend a lot of time in meetings and conference calls? So do we! During the conference, you make notes but often you need to keep your hands as well as your mind occupied. A Totem Pen facilitates both of that. Just unscrew the cap and spin the top.

  • INK Machined Fountain Pen

    INK Machined Fountain Pen

    We wanted to create an heirloom quality, American designed and manufactured pen to help counteract the current trend of impersonal communication and disposable consumerism. Can a machined pen accomplish this goal? Maybe not, but it looks amazing while it tries.

    Life is fast-paced and disposable. We rarely take time to slow down, put thoughts to paper, and share those ideas with others around us. Do we want to be remembered for email, or for a hand written note that has character and a feeling of sincerity?

    Communication has become too impersonal. Everything is disposable. We aim to change that.

    Ink can be either a fountain or rollerball pen, giving the user their own preferred writing experience. We completely designed Ink from scratch, using high quality parts and materials. The grip section of Ink comes in either aluminum, brass or copper. This gives Ink the look and feel of a high dollar, custom pen, but because we make the pen ourselves, we are able to offer it at a fraction of the price of other custom pens.
