  • SPC Stylus + Pen

    SPC Stylus + Pen

    Not your ordinary pen & stylus Totally new design, U.S.A Made, 30+ Refills – Cross, Mont Blanc, Pilot, Uniball, The list goes on & on.

    This project started out as something we made in the shop for ourselves. We use touch screen monitors and tablets, but often have to write and design on paper at the same time, and were dissatisfied with the choices available. For us, this project was born out of necessity. We needed something that could stand up to our harsh workshop environment, but it also needed to be something that we would be proud to put our name on. Four months and over a dozen revisions later we have the SPC, and we couldn’t be happier.

  • Bolt Machined Pen

  • The X-Pen

    The X-Pen

    The X Pen houses the Pilot Hi Tec C pen refill in a strong and attractive carbon fiber and stainless steel housing. The X-Pen is constructed using a machined carbon fiber tube bonded to a 303 stainless steel tip that accepts the Hi-Tec C cartridge.  The stainless steel back is press fit into the tube, and can be easily removed to quickly change out the pen refill.  It’s even spring loaded to provide a little “give” if you push hard while writing.  The design is simple, smooth, and incredibly strong!  This is the type of pen that will outlast you that you can give to future generations.

  • The Pen Project

    The Pen Project

    Designed to be a compact, dependable addition to your everyday carry. 100% MA made.

    After several years of engineering school, I started to develop a passion for product design. I challenged myself to design an everyday object that I would be able to fabricate myself, embarking on a mission to design a pen to be carried with me every day.

    Recently, the project took a different form when I decided to do a manufacturing run of these pens. The project went from design and fabrication to a mission to keep this project local in Massachusetts, keep the footprint low and to take it to market. Over the past year I have worked hard to make this happen.

  • EiMIM Pen

    EiMIM Pen

    A simple pen featuring Pilot Hi Tec C inserts, great finishes, and MAGNETS! Check update #5 for more pictures of all of the finishes.

    So everyone needs pens, right? Well this is the ultimate pen. Great materials (6061 Aluminum), great finishes (raw, glass bead blasted, and powder coated), great inserts (your choice of black or blue Pilot Hi Tec C in 0.25mm, 0.3mm, and 0.4mm), and MAGNETS!

    The EiMIM Pen has been in the work for three months, and after design, prototype, back to the drawing board and repeating that process I have come up with something I am proud of. Really proud of.

  • Ultimate Clicky Pen

    Ultimate Clicky Pen

    The Ultimate Clicky Pen is made in the USA, smooth as silk, designed to last a lifetime and quite possibly, the perfect clicky pen.

    So what is The Ultimate Clicky Pen? It’s an all metal clicky pen with a body machined out of 6061-T6 Aluminum. For proper balance, a tip machined out of 303 Stainless Steel. To stay put in your pocket, a clip pressed out of spring steel and then coated for durability and corrosion resistance. A spacer for fitting multiple cartridges (Fisher / Foray / Parker) and at its heart, a machined advancing mechanism with a ball bearing cam design for silky smooth operation.

    What exactly makes this pen special, what makes it better? First of all this is no disposable plastic pen. It’s a machined beauty and designed to be entirely modular and last a lifetime. In addition to the thoughtful design, The Ultimate Clicky Pen is both functional and stunningly beautiful at once with a weight and balance that feels like magic in your hand and brings life to your words.

    Having designed numerous pens before, about a year ago I started working on designing an all metal, machined clicky pen. Unfortunately, I found that unlike standard pens the leap between designing and building a machined clicky pen is bigger than I thought.

    I have the designs, the mechanisms and functioning hand machined prototypes. What I need is your help and funding to create a first production run on a CNC and get custom springs made. Since we’ve already got the designs and prototypes, turn around time should be pretty quick (~2-3 months max including anodizing and assembly) and everything is being made in Arizona.

  • Premier Pen P1

    Premier Pen P1

    Time to start writing with a pen you can be proud of. A joy to write with and a pen you can take with you everywhere.

    The end result of 6 months of designing, prototyping and testing is the P1. I think the weight is perfect, it feels nice in your hand and it brings some of the joy back to writing.

    Plus, by basing it around a very affordable and flexible pen cartridge (30+ colors, 4 widths) – you can customize it to your liking.
