This pen has been a real puzzle to crack. I crafted it a few weeks ago, but no matter what I tried, I couldn't get the mechanism to function properly. It had me scratching my head—until I realised, the solution lay in removing just a gnat’s whisker of acrylic to get the pump section to engage. And now? It works like a dream, smooth and satisfying with every click.
 
The design is nothing short of striking. The tip is shaped and coloured like a bullet, giving it a bold, tactical aesthetic. The body features intricate imprints of cogs, lending it a steampunk-inspired mechanical charm. But the real showstopper is the clip—designed in the style of a pump-action rifle, adding an unmistakable rugged appeal.
 
Crafted with brushed bronze metalwork, the pen boasts an authentic, vintage feel with just the right amount of industrial edge. And I must say, the click action is incredibly crisp and satisfying, a true testament to the precision behind its construction.
 
Presented in a recycled cardboard gift box and accompanied by a soft-tied velvet pouch, this pen is as much a collector’s piece as it is a functional writing instrument. A perfect blend of craftsmanship, ingenuity, and a touch of mechanical magic.
