Thin Rollerball

[Krash]

I am wanting to make a rollerball that is thinner than the kits I have used like the Atrax. Anybody out there that has made a good quality thin rollerball?

Two thinner rollerballs that I like are the Sedona and Baron. Both are good looking and definitely thinner than the Atrax. Alas, both are a little on the small side (diameter) for my big paws.

Thanks man.

Berea new series is one of the thinnest I've done.

New series? Is that the name of the pen kit?

What kind of cartridge does it come with? Is the kit high quality?

I've only made a couple. Quality seems good - most Berea is. Only chrome though - no high end platings. Same ink as the atrax etc I believe.

You asked for a thin rollerball and that's about as thin as they get.

I see it uses a B Mandrel. I noticed a lot more of the pen kits are using them now. I use a mandrel saver and do no even see that as an option for B mandrels

Try an Artisan Americana from CSUSA. 10mm tubes. Thinest I have seen. Quality, as has been discussed in one or two recent discussions, is highly subjective. I've made and sold several with no complaints so far. Others may differ.

Exotics stocks A mandrel bushings for it.

So have I and I have yet to find one. Rollerballs are so much better than the standard ball point. John Bratzel. Call me and we can discuss 505-3127796
