I've seen the term "kitless" many times. Could you penturners give me a simple definition on the word? Thanks.
No word with more than three syllables. :tongue:

A true "Kitless" requires making all metal pen components with the exception of the ink refill and fountain pen nib.
Thanks to all for your help. I'm still learning as a beginner. Would be a while before I tackle something kitless.
. . . therefore - does "Kitless" only refer to
1. fountain pens,
and
2. ball points that do not have retracting "Refills"?
You're right -- it isn't a requirement that you have to tap some threads. (But if there are some threads, you had to tap at least one half of the matching pair yourself :biggrinOh, by the way, I disagree with the requirement that you have to tap some threads before you are allowed to call it kitless. . A glued-in finial is allowable in my book !
