Mark Two

A minimal and durable pocket pen.

Mark Two is a custom machined, all-metal pocket pen small enough to take with you, but extends to a full length when in use. Built to last a lifetime, it comes with a special mini version of our favorite rollerball refill.

Minimal

Nothing extraneous.

Mark Two was designed to be minimal and beautiful. There are no logos or excess ornamentation, and the seam on the body (to unscrew and replace the refill) is nearly completely hidden by a post-polishing process. The black cerakote sleeve has a slightly textured, matte finish, and the body is polished and smooth.

Pocketable

Take it with you.

Mark Two is quite short when sleeved, making it an ideal pen to carry in your pocket or purse. However, the magic happens when you post the sleeve on the body. Due to a clever bit of engineering, the pen elongates to a full length when posted. And when you are ready to cap it again, the body slides into the sleeve with a satisfying magnetic closure.

Durable

Made to last a lifetime.

If you’re going to be carrying a pen around every day, it needs to be durable. Mark Two is made entirely out of stainless steel. The outer sleeve is coated with Cerakote, a robust ceramic-polymer coating that wears beautifully. This pen should last a lifetime.

Refill

A mini version of the beloved Schmidt.

We were delighted to discover Schmidt makes a mini version of their amazing P8126 rollerball refill, identical in every way except the length. Perfect for a pocket pen. The Schmidt P8126 mini is what ships with Mark Two, but our pen will also work with a D1 refill and our custom D1 Adaptor.

With or without a clip

Whatever suits you best.

We know tons of folks want a clip on their everyday carry pen, which is why we included one in the original design for Mark Two. However, in this new revision, we are now offering an option with no clip. If you prefer the clean, almost bullet-like appearance, clip-less is a great option.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Mark Two transition from pocket size to full length?

By some clever engineering! Although the sides of the Mark Two body appear parallel, they are actually slightly angled towards the back of the body. This allows the body, when flipped around, to “wedge” into the sleeve, creating a full length pen.

What are the exact dimensions of the Mark Two when sleeved and posted?

The Mark Two is 88 mm sleeved, 130 mm posted and 11 mm wide at widest part.

Is the clip removable or adjustable?

The clip is not adjustable or removable, but we offer a clipless and a clip version.

What are the available finishes for the Mark Two?

Currently Mark Two is available in black, orange, blue, and green Cerakote finishes.

What is Cerakote?

Cerakote is an extremely durable ceramic-polymer coating. It creates a matte, super smooth finish that ages beautifully. Learn more about it here.

Great pen. Compact wrotes great. Magnetic clasp is a great touch

Love these travel pens - very high quality and unique design. Perfect for a backpack or pocket as the nested design prevents a button from being clickable or ink from being able to spill out in an accident. They are also fun to fidget with during a meeting seating and unseating the primary end secured to the cover’s tip via a magnet. I have an all black and just ordered an orange one a year later. The orange looks much richer and appealing in real life over the websites photos. Also, support is excellent should you have an issue with your order.

Excellent Pen

It is so beautiful to look at—smooth writing and easy to grasp. I love the minimalist look. I would purchase it as a gift for someone.

A multi use fidget instrument

This pen writes well, and is engineered in such a way that the magnetic catch can also be used as a fidget toy. Make no mistake, this pen is not a toy, so I will coin the phrase “fidget instrument”.

Well done lads, well done!

Loving this Pen --- amazing, smooth and compact!!!

I saw this advertised and thought this would be a great pen for me to have and I'm glad to say I purchased it; it's amazing, compact and provides smooth writing!!! I'm in love with it and if an orange one becomes available in the next 2 weeks I'm going to purchase two (one for me and my sister friend because we love this color.) Kudos to you for creating this pen-- I'll be signing all of my important documents with it, and, I can't wait to take it into my executive education classroom for my notetaking.... Bravo to all who designed & created!
