Lapworth

B94

Rollerball · 2 styles · from £120

Lapworth is the best I make on a kit chassis. The tolerances are tighter, the platings are a grade above, and the components feel it the moment you unscrew the cap. If you're buying one pen and want it to be the one, this is the range.

Made, photographed and ready

Each of these is a single piece that already exists — no waiting, and no two alike. Sold pens are left up so you can see the range of what comes off the lathe.

Commission

Build the spec, and I’ll quote it

Pick the pen, the fittings, the plating and the material — including your own timber if you’ve got something with meaning to it. Takes about two minutes, and there’s no obligation at the end of it.
