The Twist Pen is all about creating an unforgettably satisfying user-experience
“What we experience, and what we remember about what we’ve experienced are two totally different things.” – Jeremy Finch.
That’s what the Twist Pen is all about. Creating a UX that’s so good it instantly gets etched in one’s memory. Whether it’s the pen’s satisfying twist-and-click actuation, or the textures around the grip and the twisting knobs, or even the pen’s weighted, cool metallic feel. The Twist is a modern classic. It isn’t edgy, it doesn’t over-innovate, and it isn’t disposable. It’s the kind of pen you’ll use for years, only because it’s the kind of pen your hands will love to hold and your brain will undeniably get used to.
The Twist Pen is precisely machined from an aerospace-grade metal stock, and is then given a DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) coating to enhance its strength and resistance to scuffs, scratches, or abrasions. Available in Brass, Stainless Steel, and Black DLC, the pen feels well-weighted with a balanced center of mass, and was made to be extremely durable and resistant to abrasions. It features a simple, easy to use design, with a textured metal grip that your fingers instantly get used to, and a twist-to-open mechanism on the top that turns with a satisfying click to expose or withdraw the pen’s tip. The Twist comes included with an Itoya Aqua Roller gel refill, and is designed to be compatible with all Parker-style or G2 refills. It even includes the classic pocket clip (with a recessed clip locator) allowing you to easily whip out and holster your pen whenever needed.
Every aspect of the Twist was designed to be the best version of itself. The pen’s build is robust and durable yet comfortable, and features a balanced center of mass that makes writing with it truly comfortable. The metal body also packs a neat patterned grip that makes the pen easy to write with, and a refill that provides a buttery smooth writing experience. Lastly, the pen’s twist-action-mechanism is engineered and machined to perfection. With absolutely tight tolerances and a smooth tactile experience that ends with a simple, satisfying click, the Twist’s user experience isn’t something you can possibly ignore (even visually, with that anodized orange pop!). Its design is simple yet impactful and memorable, and it clearly isn’t designed to be a product only for your eyes. Even in your hands, the Twist is designed to have a memorable UX… and who’s to say that twist-to-open mechanism won’t become a fidget toy in your hands?!

Mechanism: For motion control, the designers have gone with the Schmidt Easy Glide for super clean, satisfying twist motion engagement. Machined from stainless steel and thermoplastic, it has a ‘lock in’ feature. Once the cartridge is extended to its full length it will lock in place, preventing retraction until turned back in the other direction. Made in Germany
Ink: After running through many different Parker size ink cartridges, the team has settled on the Itoya Aquaroller as the best choice for this writing tool. The 0.7mm acid free gel ink flows onto your writing surface like no other. It’s very reliable, and starts flowing as soon as it hits the paper. No scribbling to get it going. Made in Japan.
What Is DLC – Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) is a type of PVD coating, it’s impact resistant, and almost impossible to scratch. DLC coatings are used in sectors that require highly precise and extremely durable components – it’s commonly used in performance racing, aircraft, firearm, and fine watch industries.
By using Swiss-type turning techniques, Adam & Ryan are able to deliver parts that are extremely accurate – tolerances usually reserved for medical and aerospace industries.

This Unusually Compact Ball-pen Also Houses an Entire Sewing Kit Within It
You’ve probably heard of the phrase “ripped a hole in my pocket”? It implies that something is so expensive that it ripped through the pocket fabric to take all your money. Literal or metaphorical, the Darter Pen is neither. A compact, reasonably priced ballpoint pen, the Darter is the size of an AA battery, and aside from packing a Cross Matrix ballpoint refill for writing, the Darter even houses an entire sewing kit that packs everything you need for a stitch in time.
An unusual looking and unusually handy piece of EDC, the Darter pen comes entirely machined from aluminum and brass. The outer body sits at a remarkable 58mm in height (that’s the same size as an AA battery), and houses inside it a Cross Matrix ballpoint refill. Around the refill also sits the intricately machined sewing kit which cleverly houses 4 needles, a bobbin, 2 spools of thread, and even space for a spare button for good measure.
Available in gold and silver finishes (brought about by the use of brass and aluminum), the Darter pens are compact enough to fit in your palm or even on your keychain. The Cross Matrix ballpoint refill ensures the Darter works spectacularly as a writing instrument, while although the sewing module won’t be something you use often, it’ll be a practical lifesaver when you do end up needing it to stitch the hole in your pockets from your other extravagant purchases!

The Ever-lasting Pen!
The ManualPen pairs simplistic design with precision engineering, this results in a pen that creates a truly unique writing experience. By being machined out of a single piece of metal with exceptional levels of precision, it has allowed ManualPen to compose of just two parts, the solid metal body and rechargeable cartridge.
This led to the need for a unique fixing mechanism; a slightly bent clip securely holds the cartridge in place to eliminate any unwanted movement, whilst ensuring it can still be slid with just a satisfying movement of a fingertip! And with the introduction of a CNC machined bore, a precise and flush fitment of the cartridge has been achieved. This isn’t just any ordinary cartridge either… the pressurized Fisher Space cartridge not only carries a complimenting metal body, but also ensure that ManualPen will write in any condition you throw at it; from extreme temperatures through to zero gravity… ManualPen has you covered!
This hardwearing, long-lasting pen is sure to be a valued addition to your collection… as well as making for an excellent conversation starter!

ManualPen has no separate parts inside that could ever break- just the solid metal body and rechargeable cartridge.
They have designed a unique cartridge fixing mechanism that holds it securely in the pen while allowing you to easily slide the cartridge in and out.
In closed position the cartridge is fully hidden inside the pen.
The slightly bent clip puts a light pressure on the cartridge preventing it from sliding out of the pen’s body. At the same time, it is super easy to slide the cartridge with your fingertip.
The inside bore is machined with the highest precision so that there are no unnecessary movements between body and cartridge. The tip stays still ensuring the best writing experience.
The milled groove on the side edge allows to conveniently slide out the cartridge with your thumb, at the same it prevents the pen from rolling on flat surfaces.
For the ManualPen cartridge is just as important as the casing because it serves as a part of the pen’s opening mechanism. The Fisher Space cartridge is the perfect fit because of its durable metallic body and universal writing qualities.
