Black INK Fountain Pen

2024 Re-launch

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 latest revision of the INK fountain pen are relatively minor compared to some of the past updates. The main change is our official switch to milled aluminum clips, in matching anodize* for the aluminum pens. The tests are in, and the aluminum clips are fully functional and nearly as durable as our previous stainless steel clips. It is very unlikely they’ll break or fail during carry or use, though we do have a manufacturers warranty on all of our machined items. For the Brass and Copper versions, we’ve chosen Type III (Natural) anodized clips for extra durability but also the contrast in color is similar to the stainless steel look. Finally, all of the anodized versions have matching anodized Mk II grip sections available (IN LIMITED QUANTITIES). The Brass and Copper pens will also have the ability to purchase matching Mk II grip sections. Once these grips have sold out, we will officially phase out the Mk II (Frag) profile as an option on the INK. You’ll still be able to select the standard Black, Silver, Tumbled, Brass, and Copper grips if you prefer to have some contrast with your pen. The tumbled aluminum version uses a tumbled aluminum clip but does not have a Mk II grip section option. We are officially discontinuing the Silver anodized color on the INK as a body option due to low demand; it may come back once or twice a year as a special release, but for now it is not an option. Anodized aluminum options include the following gloss colors (bright dip): Black, Blue, Dark Green, Grey, Olive, Orange, and Red; and the matte color: Purple.
