Geta Ballpoint Pen Hardware

With this well-made hardware, you can create an attractive, durable ballpoint pen. High-quality platings yield a crisply detailed, uniform surface and a precise fit between parts, combining ease of assembly with trouble-free function.

The tapered, streamlined design includes a three-bar motif on the clip meant as a subtle reference to a geta, a Japanese thonged sandal. The pen operates with a half-twist, comes with black ink and takes Parker-style refills.

Requires a standard "A" mandrel, a bushing set, an O-size drill bit (according to machinists’ bit-sizing standards) and a minimum 3/4" × 2 1/4" pen blank, all sold separately. Because mishaps can occur during turning or assembly, we also offer brass replacement tubes.
