Zen Pen Kits

[Pens By Scott]

I know that CSUSA has the Zen Pen kit, are there any other suppliers that carry the same kit?

Ernie has one at Bear Tooth Woods called the Electra. The cap threads not magnetic. I like the treaded type better.

I buy a ton of Zens ans have never seen another supply other than CUSA

Aaron at LauLau has the threaded version as well- he calls it the "Stretch"

I like the threaded cap versions better, largely because the shape of the nib looks more like our other rollerball options.

I'll second what Lyle says, I have a bunch of zens and can't sell them, every one says the same thing it feels strange with the sharp edge at the nib, I think they are beautiful though.

The electra kit looks cheap to me. I do like the stretch though, but be sure to get some bushings with your first order of this kit because it looks like a Zen but it's NOT the same.

I've never made one for sale. Ken, that's good to know. I do know that people seem to enjoy them when I give them as gifts!

Electra's are not magnetic... I sell Zens and they do well, the mag part is what makes teh sale, mostly younger buyers... I only put colourful acrylics on them now as I have learnt wood is not what sells this design
