Blackside Customs Pen - Naval Brass Tumbled

Blackside Customs was born with the goal of bringing excellence in design and craftsmanship to the portions of your EDC kit that are typically overlooked or that can be improved. Their new Blackside Customs Pen is a solid, stylish pen with great lines and details without being 'over the top'. Perfect for those that like to have some low-key bling or a professional vibe. Don't let the sophisticated look fool ya. Meticulously machined in the USA, these pens are plenty stout and can be used as a defensive/compliance tool in no time flat! The subtle grip is shallow enough with a bevelled design to not be intrusive, but has just he right amount of bite for those that press hard when writing.

This brass version of the Blackside Customs Pen carries a nice heft - not too heavy for extended writing sessions, but heavy enough for a ""substantial"" feel in-hand. This ain't no ""gift-shop brass""! The quality naval grade brass will develop its own patina and colors over time till ya pass it down to your grandkid. This one has a tumbled finish to give it some character with satin details, and will look even cooler once it gets some miles on it. Blackside Customs incorporated the game-changing stainless steel advancing ""click"" mechanism developed by Tuff-Writer for an even more durable, long-lasting mech.

Notes on Brass: This is a disclaimer for all you folks who slept through high school chemistry class or somehow not aware of the nature of brass. All metals will change colors and looks over time depending on use, environment etc. This is especially true with brass. This means it may get a darker, may change colors with patina, or it may get shiny and polished where it is rubbed by another material (like say your pocket). If ya want it to stay all shiny and new looking, you will have to keep polishing it with a product like Brasso or any of the homegrown solutions you can find with an internet search. OR, you can accept that what makes brass a cool material is that your piece will change over time and tell its own stories and truly become one of a kind.
