It's been years since we had the standard polished black acrylic Vertex fountain pens on the site, and now they're back. Machined and then hand-polished to a brilliant shine, these pens look incredible. This initial batch is just 25 pens, and they're ready to ship; get them before they're gone.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vertex is our second release in our Signature Series which is built around using plastics and other resins as the main parts of the pen. From the beginning we wanted to create something that looked, felt, and functioned differently than other pens on the market. The Vertex's basic design is that of a classic eyedropper pocket fountain pen, however it will also accept a standard international cartridge or standard international converter if you're disinclined to use it as an eyedropper. It functions with only four parts: a cap, barrel, grip, and nib. Simply add ink to the reservoir, and you can happily write pages of notes before you need to refill. Eyedropper pens can be tricky and messy, and we wanted to eliminate some of those concerns. During the engineering phase we implemented designs of custom fit o-rings to eliminate the need for silicone grease to seal the grip and nib areas. We wanted a smooth transition from grip to barrel, so we moved traditional break point from the section back, and using a third o-ring in the cap adapted slip cap functionality for the pen. The longer grip section allows for the use of an \"ink window\" with transparent materials which adds a little flair to the pen. The Vertex looks and feels streamlined and aerodynamic. With soft tapers, a cigar shaped body, and a concave cap top; the Vertex is at once futuristic but also reminiscent of the classic lines of Parker and Sheaffer pens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vertex is the latest step in our Design.History.Technology influenced Signature Series. Ships in our standard recyclable packaging with a custom vinyl sticker. Includes two black Monteverde cartridges and a Schmidt K5 international standard converter. Each pen is designed and machined, by us, in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karas Pen Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48310134243428,"sku":"KK5153BLCKACR","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/3572\/9252\/files\/blckacr_sqr.jpg?v=1778716232"},{"product_id":"tumbled-titanium-bolt-complete-edition","title":"Tumbled Titanium Bolt Complete Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRising from the ashes like a phoenix destined for greatness, the Tumbled Titanium Bolt Complete Edition is the culmination of a lot of mistakes coming together to make a truly durable writing instrument. Mistakes are made during almost every production run, and while we usually keep them to a minimum, sometimes the mistake ends up being bigger than we thought. The end of our Titanium Bolt upper body manufacturing run encountered one of those mistakes, we failed to catch damage to the tool that taps the threads for the clips. The result, over 200 parts that needed secondary machining AND more importantly custom clips to make them usable. Things were busy back then, and we shuffled the parts into a holding area to fix at a later date. Well that date is upon us, and the fixes we've made on these pens are pretty big, at least for us.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tumbled Titanium Bolt Complete Edition features a body, knob, clip, and fasteners all made of titanium. The clip is a riff on our standard clip, that's been widened with a center slot cut in it to allow for clip flexibility. These parts were water-jet cut from a sheet, and we then made a custom hand press and each clip is pressed into shape by hand in the shop. The screws are source from a knife supply company that specializes in titanium fasteners, and utilize our T8 Torx head. The only two \"parts\" that are not titanium are the standard Pilot G2 refill and our custom spring. Using the phrase \"labor of love\" for a tool like this seems strange, but we've never put this much hand work into a standard style release before, but the results are well worth it. These look and feel amazing. While we have quite a few of these to fix and get onto the site, we are considering this to be a Limited Release due to the fact that we have no plans to revisit it in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karas Pen Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48464737534052,"sku":"KK5161-TTICMPLT","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/3572\/9252\/files\/tbcdnsqr.jpg?v=1779729662"}],"url":"https:\/\/karaskustoms.mom\/collections\/best-sellers.oembed","provider":"Karas Pen Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
