Pens Made Of Alumilite

[Pierre---]

Hi all,

Here are two pens made of alumilite. Both blanks had been poured by the same maker.

He makes the first blank on a regular basis:

 

 

 

 

I love the colors, I find them very nervous. I thought of another way of playing with them, so I asked him to make another blank with the same hues, but much more quiet, with large deep blue areas. It gave me inspiration for a zen pen, clipless.

 

C&C very welcome !

Stunning blanks, and you made good use of them.

Both pens are superb.

^{Those are really nice Pierre. I really like the roller clip on the first pen.}

Beautiful pens!

I too think the rollerclip was a great addition. I also like the crazy look of aluminite, but the zen version is much richer looking. Thank you for sharing.

Those are all really beautiful pens.

I was wondering about the feel of aluminite in your hands -- is it slippery? Warm? Heavy?

Mine felt about the same as acrylic pens such as from Edison. Very light, not slippery, no unusually warm or cool temperature feel to it.

The only thing I notice about Alumillite is that it doesn't take a very high gloss polish. Shame really as it's the only thing that isn't completely stunning about the material.

The feel of alumilite is in my opinion better than acrylic. With AA, when your finger travels on it with a little pressure, it sort of bouces. On alumilite, it just slips. That is obvious to me, even on blind test.

I feel alumilite is warmer, but that could be subjective.

And alumilite colors, wahoo...

About the polish, it does take the same high gloss polish as acrylic, but with more care and time.

I'm a big fan of Alumilite pens. Your pens are amazing!

Theres something very yin and yang with those two pens. I quite like it.
