Limited Edition
Cerakote has quickly become a popular and versatile finish on our pens. The ever-growing catalog of colors, and ability to customize the surface treatment makes it a great way to get unique looking designs and finishes on metal pens that some might call boring canvases for colors and finishes. We’re moving further and further into the “Distressed” finishes which began with bronze distressed with black and expanded to several colors for our Halloween releases. We’ve also expanded to include many of the more fringe colors Cerakote has to offer, but for our 16th Anniversary we’ve landed on two of the most popular colors Cerakote sells; the H series Sniper Grey (H-234) and the Elite series Fire (E-310). The Sniper Grey will be available on standard releases to the website, the Fire is reserved for our final 2024 Pen Club Exclsuive/XVI Anniversary Tie-Ins.
The XVI Anniversary Decograph is our art deco inspired fountain pen, the Decograph, featuring professionally applied Sniper Grey (H-234) Cerakote. Sniper Grey is a “very dark grey with a slight blue tint” according to Cerakote; I would say the blue is only discernible in certain light situations and the dark grey is very uniform and not shiny at all. We chose this color on the advise of our Cerakote applicator after he looked at our shop colors and noticed how close this matches the grey we prefer. Matte Dark Red anodize was specially sourced for the clip and finials and we chose a matte black grip section that ties the entire pen together. This is our 16th anniversary, and all of our releases this year come in batches of 16, making this one of our lowest volume Limited Editions to date. Ships with a polished steel Bock nib in a variety of sizes, a Schmidt K5 Converter, and 2 Monteverde cartridges.
16 Pens Available
The Decograph 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 Decograph is our take on a traditionally styled, full-size fountain pen. Designed to initially be machined from solid thermoplastic and 6061 aluminum, the Decograph is our lightest pen yet. Weighing .72 ounces (20.4 grams), the Decograph is perfect for everyday carry and use. The clip on the Decograph is a single piece of milled aluminum that has been clear anodized to preserve the high polished look. The #6 nibs units are manufactured by Peter Bock in Germany. Also included with each pen is a Schmidt K5 cartridge converter and 2 black Monteverde ink cartridges. Each pen is designed and machined, by us, here in the USA.
