There are a lot of cool pens, some of them made out of titanium, available our there. Nice pretty pens with cute little clips. Ours is not one of them. Everything about our pen screams over- designed, over-engineered and over-built. Think of this as an evolution of our previous design… in -drum roll, please- titanium. It’s a “clicky” pen with a body and tip machined out of solid titanium. For proper balance (everyone knows that a real writing pen should have the balance tipped forward), the tip has been re-profiled and is also made out pure titanium. Swanky, right? To stay put in your pocket, we updated the nearly bullet-proof cold stamped spring steel clip and textured powder-coated it for durability and corrosion resistance. We use a machined Delrin spacer for fitting multiple cartridges (Fisher / Foray / Parker / Schmidt / Franklin-Christoph) and a machined cam advancing mechanism (no cheap stamped parts here) with a ball bearing cam design for silky smooth operation (so smooth, it doesn’t actually “click”… it’s actually cooler this way).

Ti Click Pro RTS Pen
This project started with a vision to create 2 truly amazing titanium click pens from the ground-up. It has been a big challenge and a project that we have been working towards for over a year now. We can’t even begin to tell you how many times we have been emailed and had requests to make a click pen version of our solid titanium pen + stylus. So, we listened and made what we felt are 2 of the most refill-friendly and versatile click pens ever.

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.
