PROOF introduces a look at the Vanguard Pen, which is a structural stationery. The pen has a chiseled shape that functions as a workshop tool. It has a dual-metal body that boasts a great tactile feeling. It comes from an elevated machinery made from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum materials.
The body also sections into two parts and is held together with four screws which can be seen from the undersection. Other details include its pocket clip, which is machined from 260 brass. It rests on a groove of the pen in the front section. The Vanguard pen is rounded out by the piston rod crafted from stainless steel and a spring on the inside, which deploys the pen's refill.
