Camp Karas ’24 Limited Release
The final week of Camp Karas ’24 is upon us and as we start to pack our bags, share a few more stories by the fire, and wind things down, maybe there’s a chance for one last hike out into the depths of Coconino National Forest. The forest is thick with pines and low scrub brush and the sounds of elk in the distance and birds overhead are wonderful music for our last hike. When suddenly as we step through a large patch of thick scrub brush, we stop dead in our tracks. In the distance, we can see the long gait of what looks like a very large man covered in thick, dark brown hair. It stops, looks in our direction, eyes peering deep into us and then it moves faster than imaginable disappearing into the woods. The Mogollon Monster, Arizona’s bigfoot, that’s what it must have been. We’ve sited the fabled Squatch right here in our backyard. Too excited to even attempt to chase after it, we hurry back to camp to share the stories; maybe someone will believe our crazy tale.
The CK24 “Squatch” Pocket Modal Limited Release is our Pocket Modal with matte brown anodize taking inspiration from the most prevalent mythological beast in the United States; Bigfoot. Legends of a large man-shaped, hairy bipedal forest dwelling creature go back at least a thousand years. Eleven different states have specific cryptids and legends associated with those beasts for their state. Nearly every region in the United States and Canada has tales of Sasquatch or Bigfoot sightings. It’s a favorite of ours too, and this time we’ve decided to put the Squatch on our smallest pen, the Pocket Modal. Maybe it’s a baby Squatch, out for it’s first adventure in the world. Who knows, but this pen is made for the trail and everyday carry. Matte brown anodize paired with matte black hardware, get it outfitted with the Schmidt P950M pressurized refill and it will literally write anywhere. You can capture all of the notes you need to on your next trip hunting Bigfoot. Select from a variety of ballpoint refills.
While considering how best to allow for the standard Parker style ballpoint refill to be used with the Modal functionality, we debated on whether to simply offer an adapter kit or to go further and have a separate pen. In the long run, we decided to do both because we realized the separate pen could be a smaller pocket pen that was still balanced well and super functional. We used the EDK lower barrels which allows for the use of the traditional Parker style ballpoint refills and the Schmidt P8126/7 refills which are popular liquid ink refill option. This pen is nearly 0.5 inches shorter than the standard Modal, but still fits comfortably in the hand. It’s even easier to carry in a pocket with the pocket carry clip. And it will feature a similar material and color scheme as our EDK pens use, primarily tumbled finishes and matte anodize.
