Nice things people said about our pens:
The Pen Addict: Brad Dowdy - "Like their previous products, the construction quality and attention to detail are top notch...I was impressed with how responsive the stylus actually was...With its beautiful design and versatility, the Solid Titanium Pen + Stylus may just be the one pen to rule them all." Full Review Link

Uncrate - "Most premium pens are overpriced — and hacking their refills to fit your cheapo Bic isn't exactly a good solution. This Solid Titanium Pen + Stylus ($65), on the other hand, is."

Gear Patrol - "The added bonus of a stylus nub to jot down notes on your favorite device makes this pen what all great pens should ultimately be: utilitarian."

Office Supply Geek - "I think this pen literally kicks the s4#!t out of any of the other pens I’ve seen on there...this one looks like it is the pen to end all other Kickstarter pens. "

Über Review- "Kills a lot of birds with one stone...without a doubt, the most interesting piece of stationery that I have seen in a long time."

Cool Material - "Until Chadwick and Joe one-up themselves again, this will be our instrument of choice in all things written."

Hi Kickstarters,
 We are really excited to be back with our 8th kickstarter project! A BIG "Thank You" goes out to all of our loyal backers for your trust and giving two guys the opportunity to bring new and versatile designs into the world!

We've spent the last 5 months designing and making numerous changes in order to make the most versatile pen possible. While making a TA4 titanium pen from clip-to-tip is really cool and unique by itself, we felt that was not enough and challenged ourselves to add a truly revolutionary feature. Our pen accepts more refills & brands than any other pen. Ever. We like to think of it as being a refill-ninja.

KEEPING IT REAL
Frankly, we strive to keep things simple, well-made, and affordable. (easier said than done) We feel that well-made luxury pens are simply over priced. (Ranging from $100 to over $3,500) However, luxury brand refills are fairly priced and write just as well. The solution for us in the past was to hack and cut refills down to fit into plastic pen casings in order to use premium inks on a daily basis. It worked, buy something didn't seem right. It was like we put a formula-one racing engine into a old family sedan. So we decided to make ourselves a luxury grade pen that was beautiful, modern, affordable, and most importantly, versatile in accepting a humongous range of time-tested and easy-to-find refills. Now everything feels right.

NO CUTTING, HACKING, OR MODIFYING
To replace or swap out the refills, simply toss in your favorite refill from the list below and you are ready to go. The included tension spring stays in the back of the pen making sure the refills stay snug and in place. It's never been so easy.

MIX & MATCH NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD
While we are only offering rewards in solid colors, backers who pledge for 2 or more solid color pens can swap the parts themselves and create/customize your pens to match your unique personal style.

A UNIQUE PEN
There is something special about having a beautiful, versatile, and high quality pen that's so unique it's impossible for your peers to mistake as their own. A non-disposable pen that we have poured our hearts and skill into developing a pen that no one else has ever made.

KEY FEATURES
•Made from TA4 Titanium (seriously...everything from the clip to the tip)
•Lifetime quality & craftsmanship
•Accepts & easily change time-tested cartridges
•Threaded pen cap and post
•Cap securely fits on back
•Conductive silicone stylus tip
•Bead blasted matte finish
•3 Anti-slip finger grooves
•Mix & Match parts to customize a new look
•Pocket clip (keeps the pen in place & from rolling off your desk)
•Every pen comes with a high quality felt pen sleeve

MATERIALS
Everything metal from the pocket clip down to the tip is made from TA4 Grade 4 titanium. (Not titanium coated like other pens on the market) It is the strongest form of pure titanium. TA4 Grade 4 has a excellent combination of corrosion resistance, and strength. It is commonly used in industries such as: Aerospace, Medical, Marine, and Chemical Processing. Some may think using such a premium, high cost material for a pen is overkill, but we don't think so. The replaceable stylus tip is made from conductive silicone. It can also be recycled if you ever wear it out.

3 COLOR OPTIONS*
•Bead Blasted Matte Black
•High Polished Chrome
•Bead Blasted Matte Silver
(*In order to keep things simple and minimize fulfillment errors, all pens will be mailed out in solid colors only. We cannot mix & match the colors & caps for you. However, when you get 2 pens or more you can mix & match them yourself to create a pen tailored to your style.)

THE SPECS

FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE?
Yep. Anywhere. We like to keep things simple.

HOW DOES YOUR PLEDGE HELP?
When you back our project, your pledge helps make everything possible. It helps us meet our manufacturing minimums, buy premium materials (TA4 Grade 4 titanium) at bulk rates, and bring a stellar pen to life that has never been so refill-friendly in human history. If we join together and meet the funding goal, we can all bring this project into a reality and all end up with some stunning and unique rewards.

SO WHY KICKSTARTER?
Because we absolutely love the loyal kickstarter community and are blessed to have earned the trust of so many of you. We like that kickstarter provides a way for everyone to be involved in what projects/products get made and what ones won't. The community decides if a project is worth supporting and making it successful, not a board room of people concerned about profit margins, bankers, and big bonuses.

IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU TOO...
