1.5 is what the gent jr class uses.
I was assuming this would be the same as last time - 0.8

Ditto. I'm only interested in M14 x 0.8 x 2

why 0.8?
None of these listed is near the size of M14
Several problems with course.
Most customers don't like the feel of course threads. The Jr is different because it's acme style or whatever which squares out the peaks. I personally find those threads ugly on a pen.
Course threads cut deep. When dealing with already thin wall thickness, the deeper the thread, the weaker it gets. I've never had a problem with strength of a 0.8 thread or even a 0.75 thread on an M14 being weak or not having enough holding power.

So?
I repeat -- it's my aesthetic. No amount of arguing about the strength or the difficulty of making these threads is going to change how I feel about the appearance of cap to barrel threads. If I wanted it easy, I would not be making kitless pens. If I wanted physical strength, I wouldn't be making pens from acrylic or ebonite or celluloid.
You are welcome to prefer coarser, stronger threads -- but I want M14 x 0.8 x 2.
Can you show me any commercial pen that is M14 x 0.8 please?
