Titanium pen with phosphor bronze internals and brass/copper mosaic pin in the cap. 1/2" diameter barrel. Accepts standard parker cartridges.

(please ignore the far too obvious score marks around the slot caused by an inevitable lapse in concentration)

Very cool. Definitely one of the more original ones I've seen. What garde Ti is that? Did you cut the threads on your lathe or with a die?

Thanks everyone,

I made the clip by heating then beating it out of 1mm Ti sheet.

The titanium is grade 5 which is the most available grade where i am and is probably the best for the application anyway.
The threads were cut with standard taps and dies, i don't have any tooling that would be able to cut the internal thread of M7 (the thread seen in the picture is M10 x 1.25, the M7 thread holds the cap on).

That's good to know; my bets would have been on Grade 2. Glad to know that my taps and dies are suitable for titanium work. Thanks again for sharing. I'll look forward to your future posts.

That sure is an original. I love it. Haven't messed with that type of hardness yet. I'll wait for a while and stick to plastic and aluminum. Great job on the pen.
