My first test of a new pen I'm working out in the shop this week. The body is C145 Tellurium Copper, a fancy way of saying free turning copper. It's not as "sticky" As normal C110 copper rod. In making a threaded cone designed to use a Pilot G2 ink cartridge, it ended up being Too large and front end heavy. The body tapers from the clicker to the nib, smaller on the clickerend. The next one will be more traditional in shape tapering to both ends. This will make it lighter and more symmetrical. It will require that the nose cone be fixed and soldered In place. The mechanism is a Schmidt SKM88. My plan is to do a detailed write up with the next design, assuming it works. I also plan to electroplate the clip and SKM88 with copper. Hope you like it.
