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.

Clip strength and ink flow

Amazing product, highly satisfied. I would recommend strengthening the clip as it feels somewhat flimsy especially compared to the rest of the pen, which has a super sturdy feel. Also, writing on a single sheet against a hard surface results in inconsistent ink flow, leaving gaps in writing. Otherwise a fantastic product I will be buying more of for further gifts to my friends and family. 👍 thank you kindly, Isaac (recipient of gift)

Great Feel, ink runs out fast

The pen itself is fantastic, nobody else has one like it, it’s unique it feels great in your hand, but I guess I should’ve known that the ink was going to run out really fast, considering how small of a pen it is, you’re definitely going to need to by refill cartridges at a decent clip if you were going to own the Mark two.

Phenomenal Pen!

Nothing but great things to say about my Mark Two; the weight is perfect in my opinion and the writing is subliminal. Lastly, the finish on the pen and the magnet that gives an oh-so-satisfying pull on the pen to protect it show the keenest attention to detail.

Absolutely Fabulous

I love this pen. It writes perfectly everytime and I get compliments on it daily.

Great Pen (worrisome clip)

The pen body and cap are solid, and the conceit of the body nesting and rotating works very well. I enjoy the black/black colorway. The only concern is the option with the clip—it has quite a lot of play and feel flimsy, especially at this price point.
