Limited Release
The third wave of Sunflower (H-317) Cerakote pens have just made it back to the shop. We’re covering the traditional Bolt, Retrakt R-Type, and a few Pocket Modal options. These look as amazing as the previous batches and likely won’t last very long based on the sales of the previous Sunflower pens.
The Sunflower Pocket Modal Limited Release is our original smaller Modal featuring the standard ringed EDK lower profile. Our Cerakote applicator has put on a beautiful coat of Sunflower (H-317) that is described as a “cheerful golden yellow with glistening gold and silver metallics”. We have a hard time sourcing yellow and frequently get asked for yellow pens; this turned out to be a great option when we saw the samples. The color is a gorgeous full yellow that is somehow brilliant but not overly shiny. The coating provides shimmer but is still “soft” that’s the best way to describe it. Besides the color, this feels amazing to the touch with a tactile feel that isn’t aggressive. The color has some shimmer but doesn’t shine with Cerakote listing this as a true “flat” coating. We’re pairing these with black anodized hardware which contrasts nicely with the Sunflower. The pen ships with a black Schmidt P8126 refill. Cerakote is known for the highest-rated hardness, flexibility, and durability for ceramic coatings in the industry.

The Pocket Modal is made from 6061-T aluminum on our CNC lathes and Swiss machining centers, in Mesa, Arizona. Schmidt refills are manufactured in Germany.
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.
