Black Sea Vertex Special Release
Premium Resin Special Release
The shop has been hard at work to turn hundreds of European acrylic acetate and cellulose acetate rod stock into some incredible looking fountain pens. The first of these is ready for purchase featuring an amazing aqua shimmer swirl in pitch black acrylic. This material was sourced from Vince at Turner's Workshop in the UK, showed up years ago and we've finally gotten around to working with it. It machines easily and polishes to a brilliant shine with the silvery aqua-blue blazing forth from the black, we knew it would be another oceanography themed pen right away, and landed on the Black Sea for inspiration.
The Black Sea Vertex Special Release is a small batch release featuring premium European (Erinoid) acrylic acetate. The bodies and caps are fully-machined in-house, and each piece is then taken through a multi-step wet-sanding and polishing process with a final soft-wheel technique that brings out the shine. Select from a variety of Makrolon, aluminum, or brass grip sections to customize your pen and a variety of polished steel nibs. Each pen ships with a Schmidt K5 converter and two black Monteverde ink cartridges in our recyclable packaging.

Pocket Fountain Pen
Clipless fountain pens aren't rare, but they can be controversial. The Vertex fountain pen wasn't our first try at a clipless fountain pen, in fact, it wasn't our second or third. But it's the only one that's stuck around and become a fan favorite. The design of the Vertex is based around the idea of a near-seamless transition from the grip to the body with an elongated grip made of acrylic or polycarbonate giving the impression of an "ink window". Secondarily, our implementation of o-rings in our pens allowed us to create a pen that caps with a custom o-ring, seals the nib with an o-ring, and seals the body with a third o-ring. Providing the possibility of eyedroppering the pen without the need for silicone grease. The shape is a modern cigar-style that draws inspiration from classic fountain pens from Wahl-Eversharp, Parker, and Sheaffer, but does so in a way that feels fresh and new. Though we designed the Vertex with resins and plastics in mind, we've since expanded to include aluminum, and most recently, fully-machined brass versions. Our most comfortable fountain pen by a large margin, the Vertex has quickly shot up the ranks in popularity, edging out the INK for our top fountain pen spot.
