Currently Inked #27 | 25 December 2016
This episode of Currently Inked is brought to you by Karas Kustoms at http://karaskustoms.com. Karas Kustoms specializes in precision machining high-quality writing instruments made in the USA out of aluminum, brass, and copper. Since releasing their first __pen in 2011, their unique designs and product creation have allowed us to adapt our flagship pen, the Render K, into the “K Series” of pens: a modular __pen design that affords the user the ability to easily switch the pen between rollerball, ballpoint, and fountain pen simply by removing the grip section and refill and inserting a fountain pen nib, section, and cartridge converter. You can purchase Karas Kustoms products directly through their website at http://karaskustoms.com. Be sure to sign up for the Karas Kustoms newsletter to receive new product releases, Special Edition releases, and discount codes.
