New Special Release
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.
The Matte Green & Orange Pocket Modal is a small batch special release featuring our standard Pocket Modal grip section in a colorway inspired by the Mazda 787/787B Renown livery made famous in the 1990 & 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans. With a new anodizer comes more consistent colors, we knew we could take advantage of this fact to get a quality matte green and matte orange combination that would be close to the original colors used in that livery. This colorway was a planned release for a Bolt in 2019 but we were unable to get quality anodize in those two colors, and have reserved this colorway for nearly five years. The parts were put through an extensive tumbling process prior to the anodize portion where a matte coat of “medium” green was applied to the bodies while the buttons and clips received matte “medium” orange anodize. These have been assembled with white Delrin sliders, and they look amazing. The finished product is very close to the original livery colors; we couldn’t be happier. Select from a variety of ballpoint refills or the liquid ink Schmidt P8126/7 refills to customize this pen to your heart’s desire. The body, clip, slider, and button are designed and manufactured in our facility in Mesa, Arizona.
