Afternoon all.

As some of you already know I have been working for some time on a British Made (Yorkshire to be precise) Kit.

Today I have confirmed our first production run. Made from Duplex Super Stainless Steel and polished to a Chrome like finish.

All stainless steel components will be made in Yorkshire supporting my local and national economy.

This kit will be available as a Rollerball & Fountain kit.

Pre orders will be taken from the start of January with the final product delivered by the end of that month.

I am really excited & passionate about this latest kit which I expect to retail around the £12 Mark.

Competition Time.....

I would like some help with name ideas for the Kit. I want it to shout British Made.

The person with the best name suggestion will receive a fountain and rollerball kit with bushings.

I will now start on designing another one, ideas and suggestions welcome.

How about "The Inox" Pen kits

In metallurgy, stainless steel, also known as inox steel or inox from French "inoxydable", is a steel alloy with a minimum of 10.5%[1] chromium content by mass.

Short and snappy like Zeta

Looks good Dan.

How about "Plantagenet" as in the House of York, War of the Roses etc.

Or you could just go for something British, like:

The Shakespeare
The Dickens
The Lionheart

It's a pity the Churchill pen kit is already out there

I don't think there is anything that exudes brutishness than the names of the counties

you have loads to choose from like Yorkshire, Buckinghamshire, Devon, Lincolnshire and Oxfordshire.
you have plenty of room to developed other kits and have a name under the same theme . there are a names that could be used for more light hearted kits and some for more serious and higher end kits

Uk names wont surprise us the old Colonial people just about duplicated the lot over here. What are the dimensions in your new kit ie allowance for blank clearances between bush and brass mate would have been a great opportunity to create more blank. With our dollar depreciating purposely the new kit runs out at 24 Au dollars. I still mutter at the kit clearances on other brands.Good luck with this one Dan.
