i have been learning kitless. Here are my first few. These are not triple start, I wanted to see how I liked it before I put out the money for them. I think I like it now I need to find a source for the tap and die..
First try at Bespoke

Thanks I just ordered them. I ordered a 13mm tap and die to start out with but they are left hand thread. These first few pens the cap to body is left handed. This will fix my issue..

Nice looking pens.
What makes you think they are LH threads? I see nothing that says so.

The ones I bought were left handed. I knew because the cap turns on the opposite of what it should.

I watched his videos to help me get started.

If this is true, I'm sure glad you told us. Thanks
Awesome mate. Until then, drill out some threads on your cap, reduces the amount of turns to close it. I have a 14mm drill bit just for this, I gently remove a little at a time until I have the desired amount of turns. There are some top pen makers still using single start

Nice looking pens. I'm getting ready to try my luck at kitless pens with standard tap/dies to see if I like it.

Excellent job on both. I especially Love the colors of the yellow-black. Very attractive pens!
