2026 Pen Club UPDATE
As our timeline approached to begin planning out the 2026 Karas Pen Club Coin and logistics, it became very apparent we needed to focus on moving to a more secure and optimal e-commerce solution. The logistics involved with the Pen Club require a lot of work with newsletter list creation, website updates, and product planning; rather than attempt to do all of that on our previous platform and then attempt to port everything over again safely to our new home, we made the hard decision to roll over our existing 2025 Club Members into the 2026 Club, and to use the 2025 Coin to cover the 2026 year as well. We still have openings available, and the 2026 Pen Club will include a large variety of Exclusive releases, special coupon codes, Club only content, introductory pricing, etc. What we're saying is, 2026 will not be an off year for the Club we still have BIG plans and you'll see them all on our new home, Shopify.
Karas Pen Club where pen shenanigans reign!
The Karas Pen Club was started as a way to roll a whole bunch of cool stuff into one package and offer all of that “stuff” to our biggest customers and most loyal fans. In January 2025, we launched the 8th year of the Karas Pen Club to much fanfare and grandeur, well maybe a single kazoo and a shot of whiskey in a semi-clean glass. The main goals of the Karas Pen Club remain the same, here are a few of those “goals”.
- A collectible challenge coin produced every year grants entrance into the Club.
- Early Access and Special Pricing on many Special and Limited Releases.
- Pen Club Exclusive releases throughout the year.
- Quarterly Coupon Codes.
- Access to the Pen Club Facebook group.
- Sneak Peeks and prototype reveals via the Pen Club Newsletter and Facebook group.
- Prototype, discontinued limited releases, one-off products, and other products sold via spreadsheet in the Karas Pen Club Facebook.
What are these shenanigans we’re referring to? Several of our employees interact with Club Members via the Facebook group often, and we frequently send out feedback forms to our Pen Club Members to improve the Club but also our products and shopping experiences. The 2023 and 2024 Pen Club members have played an integral role in this website’s design and in testing the functionality of it. In all, the Karas Pen Club is a way to interact with some amazing people who love our business and our products and has become a valuable member of the Karas Team.
2025 - 2026 Pen Club Exclusives
In 2024, we focused on adding Pen Club exclusive grip profiles for the Modal and Pocket Modal. The Speed-Groove profile was discontinued several years ago after a short period of use, but we decided to resurrect it and offer it solely to the Pen Club this year.
In 2025, we’re utilizing select Cerakote colors as the first initial Exclusives with the addition of some resurrect colorways, The Monsoon being one of the first. Vertex Exclusives are planned for mid-late 2025. We are also looking at Commemorative style releases and Limited Editions that are curated, serialized, and very small in quantities.
Collaborators & Accomplices
At various times, we like to partner with talented experts in different fields to create Pen Club Exclusive releases with these collaborators and accomplices. Our collaborators include talented artists like Ishmael Salleh who's assisted in the creation of nearly every Coin we've released since 2018. Our Cerakote pens are accomplished by Area 15 Coatings & Firearms. We've enlisted the assistance of numerous talented engravers and patina-artists to add style and substance to our brass and copper pens, including some extreme examples of engraved copper pens most recently. Other collaborators include Rickshaw Bags, Jonathan Brooks, Shire Post Mint, and Serge Pancheko. Many of these collaborations are Pen Club Exclusive products, or at the very least our Club Members have early access and special pricing to these collaborations.
