If you’re completely happy grabbing a cheap, disposable pen to use on a daily basis, The Pen Project might not be for you. If, on the other hand, you care about the thought process and craftsmanship that went into your daily note jotter, this is right up your alley. Ian Schon created The Pen Project out of a desire to develop an everyday writing tool perfect to add to an everyday carry arsenal. Each pen is made from 6061 aluminum with brass set screws and is compact enough to toss in your pocket when closed. There are no unnecessary parts – no springs, clips, or attachments – and each one is 100% made in the USA. The 6061 aluminum will wear a bit with each user, making for a pen that is as personal as it is well-designed.
