Thanks again for checking out the goods. I am liking the action on this mechanism, and I am following up the Sarasa with the Uni Jetstream SXR-600-07. Good sight lines on the triple bevel nose, and some grip elements to break up the body.
Waiting on some new parts for the Kitamura, and the Citizen. But I am getting closer to getting both of those machines up and running in order to make more, even better pens.
Sorry for the delay on the emails, but I like to take the time to reply properly if I can. I am working at getting through them all so that I can reply more timely.
Triple bevel nose with a click mechanism. Titanium design weighing in at a hefty 44.4g, measuring 0.48" (12.2mm) and 4.87" long. Built for the standard ISO G2 refill and equipped with the Uni SXR-600-07 refill.
The travel of the refill nose is fully support throughout the entire cycle yielding a very smooth action. A captured element on the back of the refill prevents any rattle.The mechanism comes equipped with two 4mm stainless steel bearing balls. Tip details are extremely tight with a small land between the refill and the conical section. Proper allowance and a custom precision spring allow the refill to operate smoothly. There is a tight fit between the button stanchion and the mechanism body making it more resistant to binding from pressing the button on an angle. Higbee thread start to the pen body to make the thread action for replacing the refill better. And a locking feature that should keep the mechanism from unscrewing without the need for an o-ring or loctite.
