Karas Kustoms Ink Rollerball and Rhodia dotPad - Giveaway!

December 27, 2014

With the year coming to a close, how much fun would a giveaway be?!

Bill from Karas Kustoms has kindly offered up one of the new Ink rollerball pens to be given away to a reader of The Clicky Post! Thanks, Bill.

When the fellas asked me which Ink we should give away, my reply to Dan Bishop was: "you pick." Dan has come up with a cool combo that looks awesome. He has referred to it as the unofficial (copyright/trademarks and all) "Iron Man" version.

The barrel is machined from solid aluminum and anodized in a bright candy red. There isn't a plastic piece in the construction of this pen which is one of the things I enjoy so much about it. A lot of companies put metal sleeves over a plastic core, but not this beauty. All metal and feels awesome.

The rollerball grip section Dan chose is machined from solid brass which adds some extra heft and weight to the front. It will also patina and add a bit of character to the pen the more you use it. Included with the pen is a Schmidt Cap-less rollerball refill which writes super smooth and lays down a nice dark line. In the rollerball realm, this refill is at the top of my list.

In addition to the Ink rollerball, I am also including a Rhodia dotPad to sweeten the deal that was kindly provided by rhodiapads.com! The dotPad has become my favorite paper in almost all cases.

CONTEST RULES (the "fine print"):

- Contest will run through Wednesday, December 31st and will end at 11:59pm Arizona Time, USA. I will be announcing the winner on New Years Day! Happy New Year to a lucky winner...

- To enter, leave a comment below (limited to one entry per person; no cheating!): do you have a favorite Karas Kustoms pen or what type of pen would you like to see the guys do next?

Thanks again to Karas Kustoms and Rhodia for offering up the prizes! Good luck everyone.

From Dudek Modern Goods - Thank You For Sharing

December 23, 2014

As the year is wrapping up and I've been scrambling to get all the final pen holders sent out (nearly all in time for Christmas!), I've been reflecting on just how grateful I am for the support I've received. I've been blown away by not only the demand for Dudek Modern Goods pieces, but by the overwhelmingly positive feedback I've received. Thank you!

I wanted to take the time to put together a post of some of the pics shared or sent to me by customers and friends (I don't have them all...) showcasing their Dudek pieces. If you have some, also feel free to share them with me as I'd love to see how they are being used!

Thanks again for an amazing 2014,

Mike Dudek
