Schon DSGN Aluminum Pen

Be that as it may, but I want my pen to be securely on me. Not rattling around somewhere in my bag or wherever. The clip and cap could be a one piece design. Depending on the material it's made out of it could be very durable. The cost would probably go through the roof though.

To hear the comments on this drop, you'd think that the pen was $1000. What are you using to gauge value? I'll be buying this pen directly from the designer. It's good to see US designers who care about turning out a solid, sustainable, timeless product and make it happen on their own. Congrats, Ian.

To clarify my opinion stated above, I do not like the pen, but that is my personal opinion. The use of aluminum for an EDC pen, with threads on the outside, would not have been my first choice. I love a good patina, especially on brass, steel and titanium, but this blank aluminum does not age well in my opinion. After carrying it for a few weeks with my keys, I dropped it and damaged the threads on the back. The reason I didn’t contact you is because I damaged it myself, (this damage is thus not covered by warranty) and that I could easily fix it myself using a fine file. But there are a lot of things to like about this design, it looks good (the brass or Ti version), it’s small and uses a fisher cartridge (not my preference, but that’s not a deal breaker for me). Right now I’m using the Maxmadco bolt-action pen and I love it. The Shon DSGN pen got a spot in my EDC bag.
