  • Nova Minimal Pen

    Nova Minimal Pen

    Solid Titanium, Brass or Aluminium Pen. Minimalist Design. The Ultimate Everyday Carry Writing Instrument.

    The Nova Pen is a minimalist writing instrument crafted from precision-machined titanium or aluminium. These premium materials coupled with the Nova’s clean, modern design and sculptural feel, make it a creative tool that will inspire you to create every day.

    Our unique adapter, included with every pen, allows you to use a huge range of refills from both Parker-style and Euro-style refill formats. Just by changing the refill you can turn your pen into a rollerball, ballpoint, fineliner, gel, or space pen.

    As a small independent manufacturer, we need your help to launch a production run of the Nova as the only way to make luxury materials such as titanium available to everyone is to purchase them in bulk. By backing this project you will be helping us to create a set of truly premium writing instruments at an affordable price.

  • Groovy Pens

    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.

  • 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)
  • EDC Ink –“Every Day Carry” Keychain Pen

    EDC Ink –“Every Day Carry” Keychain Pen

    For the uninitiated, E.D.C. stands for Every Day Carry and is a popular topic of discussion regarding the need to always be prepared no matter the circumstances. EDC Ink™ is a line of high quality, rugged, and durable pens for your keychain or bag, designed so you will never be without one of the most used items in everyday life.

    THE DESIGN

    As a designer and someone that loves to travel I often find myself in need of a pen for quickly sketching an idea, making a list, or filling out the inevitable form.

    These pens are made from the classic combination of 304 stainless steel and brass; the metals helped define the design and provided the inspiration for the pure, clean aesthetic. Every part is functional and simplified to the extreme. These pens utilize the raw metal’s natural characteristics and native colors to produce the detail accents of the tip and end screw.

    These precision machined parts fit together so perfectly that the parting line between the pen barrel and cap virtually disappear, resulting in an object that hides its identity until it’s used.

    Despite their small size, the precise fit and weight of the raw metals make them feel substantial, solid, and nice to handle.

    While I love the purity of this design on its own, I often have to measure things for my work, so I added both metric and imperial measurement scales on the PRO version. I have found this added function to be incredibly useful and right there where you need it.

  • 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.
  • Custom Machined Pens

    Custom Machined Pens

    Beautiful pens created from your custom design in brass, stainless or titanium.

    Design a beautiful, high-quality pen online using my easy-to-use web widget, and I’ll build your pen. Join the maker revolution. I like making things. It’s fun. I’d like to share that with other people. In order to do this, I need folks willing to jump into the fray! Please support my project. I think you will be happy with the result.

  • 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.
