Small Batch Special Release
Take a bite out of this juicy Cerakote goodness with the release of the INK in H-319 Black Cherry Cerakote. It took us a while, but we finally were able to get a batch of our flagship fountain pen in this unique color. Hopefully, this small batch will hold everyone over until we can get a second batch in.
The Black Cherry INK fountain pen is our flagship fountain pen featuring this dark purple Cerakote. Black Cherry Cerakote is a “deep maroon purple with faint shimmering metallics that bring out the glamour in this color.” The metallic in this coating is very fine letting the base color do most of the “heavy lifting” with just the faintest shimmer in certain lighting. We have previously released a Black Cherry Render K, several Bolts, and the Hive Modal pens with different hardware options. We’re pairing this release with black anodized grips and clips and black fasteners. Select from a variety of nib sizes when you checkout.
Limited Availability
The INK is made from 6061-T aluminum on our CNC lathes and Swiss machining centers, in Mesa, Arizona. Schmidt and Bock manufacture their products in Germany. Monteverde cartridges are made in Austria.
The INK, our flagship fountain pen, has gone through numerous iterations since it’s initial design in 2013, some things have remained the same. Pen reviewers used descriptions such as, “tank-like construction”, “ultimate pen”, “unique and stylish with just a hint of bad-ass”, and “an excellent addition to any writing arsenal”, and through all the engineering changes and adjustments, we managed to retain the elements that make up the core DNA of the INK. Some call it industrial and minimalist, which later became everyday carry (EDC) and indestructible; our mindset at the time was maximizing function and form on a machined fountain pen that “felt” like a Karas Kustoms product. The result was, and still is, a pen that really stands out. Even as fountain pens have exploded in popularity with thousands of new pens and pen designs hitting the market, the INK fits in an aesthetic and utilitarian category all it’s own.
The INK is a full-sized, machined fountain pen that comes in aluminum, brass, and copper. The grip sections are available in several finish and material options so you can customize your pen even more. The thread-on cap uses triple-start threads to securely attach itself to the pen and to allow the removal of the cap with only 1.5 revolutions. The new Sta-Fast cap features an internal silicone o-ring near the threads that seats on a machined flat just past the grip section, and provides a secure, tight fit that keeps the cap from coming unscrewed when pocket carried. Our latest iteration of this pen now includes a fully machined aluminum clip that is anodized in matching colors to the pen bodies. Each pen is designed and machined, by us, here in the USA.
