WTT: SPP Smooth CamClick

Up for trade is a rare Smooth body SPP stonewashed CamClick. It has a pilot g2 tip on it so it takes trimmed g2 refills. Only one small blemish on the side of the tip. I’m looking for other SPP’s or Confounded Machine pens. Let me know what’s out there. Thanks!

The titanium Karas Bolt is back!!!

Only 5 days left from the time I’m posting this, the legendary pen from Karas Kustoms is coming back. It’s been way too long, they haven’t made titanium pens in years, only aluminum,brass and copper!!!

The Karas Bolt will return in a Pilot G2 configuration with a limited release, so grab one fast. Who knows, this might be the last time they ever make the titanium version again, haha!!!

Need Help: First Pen Probably Over Thinking

Got my first custom pen ordered on Friday, the rewind by Q, and couldn't be more excited. Long story short I picked the Ti pen with a Ti bolt. Do I need to worry about the same metal paring and Galling? Do people typically chose brass or copper as the bolt? I've heard a couple people on the discord say this isn't a problem but just wanted to be sure as I want to keep this pen for a long time 😄

What are yall's thoughts? Thanks!

Tuesday Quesday

This weekend I worked on anodizing and building out two new pens. The green Q3D Disco with copper accents and the Bronze/Black Twisti. These two pens are probably my personal favorites that I have customized so far.

Also pictured is the Mokume Tread, which is one of my favorite pens and just tends to be out pretty much everyday.

Triple 2s(-day), w/ Diplomat, Wingback, Autmog, Modern Fuel, Magnus Pens (used-to-be MagnusX), & Tactile Turn

'Tis Triple 2s-day, w/ a few machined writing instruments which might have something in common, so, they're related, yet not from the same fam (or brand)...

The upper right of the 1st shot has the "Fraternal Funky Fuel", w/ the Diplomat "Funky Petrol" Aero ballpoint, w/ an iridescent blue pvd coating which incorporates niobium, & the Wingback 'Selected Works' "Jet Fuel" Journeyman Pen which might have a related pvd coating that includes titanium. & both utilize a twist (or, hidden bolt-action) mechanism.

The lower left shows the "Similar Side click Siblings" - the clipless Autmog 45 Click round nose w/ grip lines & Modern Fuel clipless Side Click - where both have bronze barrels & a side button retract feature.

& in the lower right are the "Patterned Primo Pair" & are sorta like cousins, since they use variations of Magnus Macdonald's ClickShift mech, w/ a "smooth nebula" finish for the Switch (which, w/ no "lay" texture for the barrel, is kinda rare for Tactile Turn) or a "smooth fire acid" ano for the v4.

&, since there were only 3 2s, the upper left shot's unrelated... 😁🙃

Zirc?

Pick this up on the secondary. Really happy with it but unsure if it's actually zirconium.

WTB or WTT for an Autmog Energel

Looking to buy or trade for an Autmog Energel variant. I have 2 Magnus Clickshift V4 pens that I would be willing to trade. I have used them a couple times but they have never left my desk.
