It’s literally seamless.
Mark One has a completely seamless design, which was quite an engineering feat. The pen has no excess ornamentation or logo, and comes in two colors: black or white. The metal plated nocks provide a nice little accent to each, and give Mark One a sophisticated look without looking overly tactical.
Durable
Made to last a lifetime.
Mark One is incredibly durable. It is made entirely out of metal, including the custom click mechanism. The pen is coated with Cerakote, which is an extremely durable ceramic-polymer coating (technical specifications for Cerakote). It gives the pen a really nice, matte feel. This pen should last a lifetime.
Retractable
A completely custom click mechanism.
There are many off-the-shelf click mechanisms we could have used, but none of them were quite right for what we wanted, so naturally, we made our own. It is made entirely out of metal and, as far as we know, it is the only all-metal mechanism on the market that has an actual “click” action. It is satisfying as heck to click.
Refill
Built for an amazing rollerball refill.
Mark One ships with our favorite refill, the Schmidt P8126 rollerball. This is a fantastic cartridge; the ink flows smoothly and dries quickly. However, Mark One will accept any Parker-style refill, which means there are many options for pen cartridges that our pen will accept. This list from Well-Appointed Desk is quite comprehensive.

Great!!
I got the Mark One pen for my husband for Christmas and he just loves it. It's a little weightier and so satisfying to hold and write with! He likes that it's a little thicker than most pens, and that there is no clip so it's a really smooth, streamlined feel. It also writes beautifully. He takes notes a lot for work and was really excited to start using it.
I also got him the dual walnut tray, which was beautiful quality for his desk (and to help him not lose his pen!). Was very happy with the quality of the items. You can tell a lot of thought and care goes into the design and into the creation of the product.
I love the feel and weight. The blue color is darker than I expected yet unique and attractive. The mechanism is simple, and clicking is satisfying!
I absolutely love the heft of the steel pen and it writes amazing. The pencil a perfect weight and holds the lead very study so it gives a great writing feel. Love them both
