Machined Aluminum Pocket Pens

The Schon DSGN Clip Pen is Made with Care by Hand

— June 12, 2017 — Art & Design
About the size of a cigar and crafted in one of several metal choices, the Schon DSGN Clip Pen is a premium take on the classic pocket pen that will provide an exceptional experience for people of all kinds. Rather than being produced in mass numbers, each of the pens are crafted by hand and machined individually to ensure that each one is as precise as possible.

The Schon DSGN Clip Pen is designed in either stainless steel, titanium or anodized/polished aluminum to make it a suitable piece of equipment for those who want to carry it with them as part of their everyday carry. The pen features a premium cap that screws onto the opposite end during use, while the clip acts as a screwdriver for opening the ink chamber.
