What an incredible piece of craftsmanship. How can I order more as gifts for the future? I already know people at work will be asking me where to get one when I take it in tomorrow. I also love this ink refill, never used it before. It's quickly becoming my favorite ink.

Got mine yesterday (stainless hex keychain with ruler). Absolutely wonderful.Thank you! I agree with some of the others, I regret not getting another. I'm thinking a brass/mixed clip on would nicely round out my set if there end up being any available.

“ Absolutely wonderful.Thank you!”

I received my all brass Hex Keychain pen nearly a month ago and I ADORE IT. I've collected probably >$1,000 of pens of all types, and I can confidently say that if I was forced to choose one pen to be my only pen for life, I would choose this one. It's compact, it's comfortable, the ink is right, the mechanism is indestructible, and it's gorgeous. If I had known I would love this pen so much, I'd have backed for "The Collection". That being said, I cannot wait until more are available for purchase! I would like to pick up a clip version and maybe a couple for gifts. Thank you for designing and manufacturing an amazing product. I'm honestly trying to find a flaw with it and I cannot. One could complain about the diminutive ink supply, but that just comes with the territory of a compact pen. I'll be watching for your future endeavors!

Hey Kevin, I was finally able to open my package since I have been away from home. The wait was well worth it. Great looking pen and a great addition to my EDC pen from your previous project. Great job and I look forward to your next project!

I've been using my pen since it arrived, and I continue to LOVE it! It's wonderful for both writing and fidgeting. I'm getting quicker at clicking it in and out :)

Just received mine (USA), (Hex Clip), this is very well made/machined. I could not puzzle out how to open it because I could not see the seam where it unscrews. Loving it! Nice choice of cartridge, writes quite smoothly.

My pens arrived this morning - they exceeded my high expectations (I have an EDC Ink X1 which I love). Beautiful work! And they are the perfect size. Thank you!

Rob Sherrard

After having a few days to handle mine, I'm really sorry I didn't order another. I'd really like to have an all-brass hex body pocket pen to complement my stainless steel & brass one. Any idea of when you'll have a final parts inventory to know whether the all-brass version could be offered?

Well, Today I received my pocket bolt pen finished with the join or die engraving. Again you've made perfection, great size, great weight, a true work of art here. Now my only problem is what pen to use. I also have an everyday carry pen finished with the icon engraving. Thank you again Kevin for your continued efforts in making the best writing instruments man can find.
