| Material | The pen design and its material can be interchangeable. If you like a particular design and want to choose a different material, please have a look at the Available Materials. |
| Clips | Some pen designs are better suited without a clip, such as the Islander. However, for functional use, a clip may be needed so that the pen can be clipped in a pocket. Please click on the image below to visit the gallery showing all the Clips

| Filling Mechanism | This is a Cartridge Converter filling system which takes a standard international cartridge or converter. A Schmidt K5 converter will be included with this type of filling mechanism. The piston filler is a self-filling mechanism with all handmade parts. The turning knob for a piston filler pen will operate the piston, which is made in Delrin. The piston has 2 "O" rings that provide good ink seal. This type of filler is also known as a Vac filler. It has a stainless steel rod with a specially designed "Plunger Washer" attached to it. It fills the pen in downward motion of the plunger when vaccuum is released towards the end of the downward movement. This is a Sac based filling system with a button which operates a pressure bar. A Silicone Sac is attached directly to the section. The button is hidden underneath a blind cap on the barrel. The button itself can be made in Bronze or the same material as the pen. This type of filler has a clear acrylic pump button hidden underneath a blind cap on the barrel. A stainless spring is used for keeping the button in its normal position. For this filler to be effective, the feed must have a breather tube installed in it. Most of the filling mechanisms can be made available on any pen design. However, please confirm this before starting your order. |
