You’ve probably already figured this out, but I don’t make any compromises when designing and making pens. I use the best materials I can and the best methods I can.
Most pen makers will opt for a stamped-and-bent pocket clip. Yes, doing this results in a functional clip (and probably a lower-price-point) - but it’s not for me.
No mass-production style methods are used here (not even on the pocket clip). The pocket clip is not an afterthought - it is a functional and visually important part of the ClickShift™ and Bolty™.
I take as much care with the design, machine, and finishing of the pocket clip as with any other component of the pen.
