THE DESIGN
As a designer and someone that loves to travel I often find myself in need of a pen for quickly sketching an idea, making a list, or filling out the inevitable form.
This pen hides on your keychain and will travel with you everywhere allowing you to forget about it. It’s the perfect everyday companion...you will never have to ask to borrow a pen again!
The Inspiration
I'm a minimalist when it comes to what I carry and don't like to carry extra stuff or have to remember extra things. With this need in mind I started to look for a small/cool pen that I could carry every day without having to think about it and without it being too big and bothersome.
The Solution
After a lot of searching I couldn't find anything that met my needs so I decided to create my own compact pen which attached to my keyring.

The Design Requirements:
ULTRA COMPACT SIZE - Go every-where size to fit on my keyring.

THERE WHEN YOU NEED IT- rugged, durable, and reflect my appreciation for design and quality.
Materials
These pens are made from the classic combination of 304 stainless steel and brass; the metals helped define the design and provided the inspiration for the pure, clean aesthetic. Every part is functional and simplified to the extreme. These pens utilize the raw metal’s natural characteristics and native colors to produce the detail accents of the tip and end screw.
The Invisible Seam
One of the things that everyone is impressed with is the "Invisible Seam". These precision machined parts fit together so perfectly that the parting line between the pen barrel and cap virtually disappear, resulting in an object that hides its identity until it’s used.
Despite their small size, the precise fit and weight of the raw metals make them feel substantial, solid, and nice to handle.
Made in Los Angeles
The EDC Ink pens are designed, engineered, and manufactured in Los Angeles, California to maintain the highest level of quality.
These pens are precision machined on the same computer controlled machines that are used to create parts for the aerospace industry. Each part is inspected multiple times, then hand assembled to create the perfect travel companion.
EDC Ink Pen Sizes
The EDC Ink pens are available in two sizes: X1 and the slightly longer X2. All pens will come with the small stainless steel split ring already attached to the pen's cap making it easy to put it on any keyring.
X1 - Specifications:
X1 is the smallest pen and the one I carry (I have medium sized hands). It virtually disappears on your key ring. While the X1 is a bit small for a lengthy writing or sketching session, it is perfect for capturing an idea or jotting down items on your to-do list.
Length: 3.2" (81mm)
Diameter: 0.31" (7.9mm)
Weight: 0.83 oz. (23.6 grams)
Materials: 304 stainless steel body, brass tip, and brass end screw.
X2 - Specifications:
X2 would be better for people with large hands, people that plan to do more writing, or someone that doesn't mind carrying a slightly longer pen.
Length: 4" (101mm)
Diameter: 0.31" (7.9mm)
Weight: 1.1 oz. (31.4 grams)
Materials: 304 stainless steel body, brass tip, and brass end screw.
EDC Ink Laser Engraving
I'm very excited to offer these pens in multiple engraved treatments that really elevate the pen to a piece of functional art which you get to enjoy and carry with you every day.
While I love the purity of this design on its own, I often have to measure things for my work, so I added both metric and imperial measurement scales on the PRO version. I have found this added function to be incredibly useful and right there where you need it.
ABOUT THE ENGRAVING - This process uses a high powered FIBER laser to remove metal, so the engraving is actually recessed into the surface of the metal resulting in a permanent mark that also adds texture to the surface of the pens and provides more grip to hold the pen when writing.
