We're wrapping up the final pieces, and it's time to launch our latest premium production fountain pen. The Brass Vertex is something truly special, a pen we honestly never planned on releasing. When we sat down to design a clipless fountain pen prioritized for pocket carry, machining it out of solid brass was the last thing on our minds. Surely it would be too heavy. Too unwieldy to write with comfortably. Our assumptions were WAY off the mark. Not only is the Brass Vertex comfortable, it's one of the most balanced, ergonomic heavy pens we've released ourselves or had the opportunity of testing. It's a game changer for sure.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Brass Vertex is our Vertex pocket pen with snap-cap and sleek vintage inspired design fully-machined from raw brass rod. Like all of our brass pens, we use full rod stock rather than brass tube or forming\/molding brass. This results in pens that are more substantial, sand and polish better, and patina at a uniform rate. The body, cap, and grip are all machined in-house from C360 brass rod to ensure a uniform appearance along with the quality expected in a true brass pen. All parts are meticulously inspected BEFORE we sand and polish each pen, ensuring the final product is blemish free. Final assembly is done when you customize your choice of nib, after which we wipe the pen one final time with a polishing cloth before sealing it in a plastic bag so it arrives with the brilliance only brass brings to the table. Customize your nib choice when checking out from a variety of nib sizes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSpecifications \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/span\u003e (Capped) - 111.2g \/ 3.92oz \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/span\u003e (Uncapped) - 71.2g \/ 2.51oz \u003cbr\u003eLength (Capped): 133.3mm \/ 5.24\" \u003cbr\u003eLength (Uncapped): 128.8mm \/ 5.07\" \u003cbr\u003eLength (Posted): 148.0mm \/ 5.82\" \u003cbr\u003eWidth (Body): 14.61mm \/ 0.575\" \u003cbr\u003eWidth (Cap): 15.88mm \/ 0.625\" \u003cbr\u003eWidth (Grip Min): 10.8mm \/ 0.42\" \u003cbr\u003eWidth (Grip Max): 13.2mm \/ 0.52\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Brass Vertex is machined from C360 free-machining brass on our CNC Swiss Lathes in Mesa, Arizona.

This color cures a true flat tone with a nice texture that provides a decent grip while writing. Mint paired with black is a sneaker colorways that has grown in popularity, and when we tested it out we understood why. The black hardware provides a welcome contrast to the powdery mint Cerakote.

We were barely out of the prototyping phase, with two small releases before the holidays were upon us. We'd been lucky enough to secure a batch of incredible looking acrylic that we thought looked like \"a chilling shade of wintergreen, struck through with ribbons of black and streaks of glittery ice\". The entire process of designing and bringing the Decograph to production had been laborious and fraught with mistakes, wrong turns, and scrapped parts; by December 2017 we were able to breathe a sigh of relief as we released the Winter Decograph Special Edition 1703 \"Winter's Tale\". Fast forward, to a few days before Solstice 2025, we're excited to release the Winter's Tale Vertex, in the same chilling wintergreen color. It took 8 years but we finally found a near exact duplicate to the original material, of course in the hands of Turner's Workshop. This premium European acrylic has the same light green color with brilliant silver-y, chatoyant swirls and ribbons of opaque black. If you want to complete the set of the two pens, now is the time. If you missed the original Decograph release, you can still grab a Vertex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vertex is the second release in our Signature Series which is built around using plastics and other resins as the main parts of the pen. From the beginning, we wanted to create something that looked, felt and functioned differently than other pens on the market. We wanted a smooth transition from grip to barrel, so we moved the traditional breakpoint from the section back, and used a third o-ring in the cap adapted slip cap functionality for the pen. The longer grip section allows for the use of an \"ink window\" with transparent materials which adds a little flair to the pen. The Vertex looks and feels streamlined and aerodynamic. With soft tapers, a cigar-shaped body, and a concave cap top; the Vertex is at once futuristic but also reminiscent of the classic lines of Parker and Sheaffer pens.

The RKiV is a small-format, click-style pen similar to the EDK but with a new look and design that allows us to shorten the manufacturing time, reduce product lost due to anodize issues, and is based around a ballpoint refill we've never featured before. The vision for this pen was to create something that wasn't a direct riff on one of our existing pens. The EDK used a combination of the Retrakt upper body and a shortened Bolt grip. The Modal uses a Bolt grip and the Pocket Modal uses an EDK grip. For the RKiV we took smaller elements (tip taper, micro-rings, etc) and built from that aspect for a single-piece pen designed to use a standard oil-based ballpoint refill. Our internal tests have proven the RKiV is a beast of a pen in a pint-sized package, and with the Fisher Space Pen® refill, it WILL write in any condition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karas Pen Co","offers":[{"title":"Fisher Space Pen® refill - Black","offer_id":48694616031332,"sku":"KK5500-MGRN-FSBLK","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Monteverde P41BK Extra Fine Gel - Black","offer_id":48694621012068,"sku":"KK5500-MGRN-MVP41-BLCK","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Monteverde P42BK Fine Gel - Black","offer_id":48694622683236,"sku":"KK5500-MGRN-MVP42-BLCK","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 - Black","offer_id":48694616064100,"sku":"KK5500-MGRN-EF9-BLCK","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/3572\/9252\/files\/mnstrgrn_rkiv_sqr.jpg?v=1783099511"}],"url":"https:\/\/karaskustoms.com\/collections\/sale.oembed","provider":"Karas Pen Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
