Mark One
The design is completely seamless. No visible hardware, no logo, no ornamentation — every surface accounted for, nothing added that didn't earn its place. The polished steel knock is the only accent, and also the action: an all-metal click mechanism, custom-built because nothing off the shelf produced quite the right feel. It didn't. This does.
Machined from solid aluminum or steel and coated in Cerakote — a ceramic-polymer finish developed for extreme-use applications. The result is a matte, tactile surface on a pen that reads as metal the moment you pick it up.
Seventeen color variations. Clip or no clip. Stainless or black knock. The decisions are small; the effect is not.
Ships with the Schmidt P8126 rollerball — smooth, fast-drying, and our preference. Accepts any Parker-style rollerball, gel, or ballpoint refill.
