A ballpoint pen is a useful tool but is rarely a project explored by aesthetic-focused designers, however, the Andrew Sanderson-designed metal ballpoint pen is a tool that is sure to draw some curious eyes. Built to be highly sleek and minimal, the metal ballpoint pen perfectly hides its components and a beautiful metal casing. There is no plastic in sight on this piece and the entire body is machined from a single piece of USA made metal.
In terms of internal performance, the minimal metal ballpoint pen is compatible with Fischer Space pen refills as well as G2 Parker style refills. The bronze mechanical mechanism is custom designed and is self-lubricating to allow a smooth click even after years of use.
