Modified brass EDC pen

[stuckinohio]

So, I finally got some of these EDC kits. I'm so happy they came out with these. I've been using the click mechanisms for quite some time and either creating a custom pen or modifying the slimline pro.

The problem with the brass EDC is that they use the silver clicker and clip still, which looks silly to me. I used the gold colored schmidt mechanism that I already have (from Richard Greenwald) and took a clip from the slimline pro kit.

Works perfectly!

The blank is called "oil slick" by Tim McKenzie. Simply beautiful. I can't take good pics so I included one in my hand which shows the colors better!

That's a really nice pen Lewis. I have a bunch of friends that would like that, but I'll just use the stainless steel ones for the same plating.

Thank you Mark.

The stainless and the aluminum look pretty good. I don't mind the black aluminum either even though they contrast. With the right blank, it looks good.

Nice mod job! I'm happy to see that several folks are trying this pen ; that way we can get a good feel for how they hold up.

Thank you Tony and Gtriever!

The click mechanism is bar none, the best. And they are replaceable if they were to break.

I just made my second (the aluminum finish). I don't take any chancess with the "rotating clip phenomenon". I am getting real good at applying the JB weld (must wait 24 hours for full cure).

The SS is now my personal carry pen. I brought it to the SEPG. I hope PSI got this one right.

Beautiful Blanks, Expertly Fitted and Finished.
Like your Modifications, look forward to periodic Performance Comments, if you wouldn't Mind.
Congratulations,

Interesting. Where do you apply JB weld?

I've been following this thread and now you've peaked my interest. I think I might have to give them a try even though I'm trying to cut down on the pen inventory. Thanks for sharing.

No problem! Just wanted to let people know there's a way to have almost matching hardware!
