This took a while to do but I finally got it done.  I took a few quick shots.  Sterling Sliver and ebonite with blackwood and pommelle.

I engraved all the pieces.  The compass, clip and center band say "To travel hopefully" from Robert L Stevenson's "To travel hopefully is a better thing then to arrive"

 

Nice work.

Maybe they shouldn't be called traveler pens. Many airlines would consider them as weapons nowdays.
How much do you plan on selling them for ?
What machine process do you use to engrave around the lid. Hand or machine?
What do your machines look like ? It would be good to see a few pics of the pens while been made!

I want one

I have not thought about a price as of yet.  Only because I need to optimize the time it takes to make one.  I use a 4 axis Grizzly mini mill that I retrofitted to go all the cutting and engraving.  I enameled the compass engraving.  Next setup i will take some photos.

As for not taking pens on a plane these are the ones that WILL get taken if you carry them on board:

This is a cartridge pen that I have been working on the design for a while.  I am now "happy" with the clip which I make from a casing, Also it is a real pain to solder the clip to the top casing.  These brass casings are thin and not made of the best materials.  They tend to pit when heating them up.

Very well done nice styling

Looks like Marcel has found another with something in common. CRAFTSMANSHIP.

Looks very nice.

The rifle shells takes me back to high school metalwork class in about 1972 or so. I made a hash pipe out of a 303 shell. You took the business end off to reveal a roach clip. I managed to do it bit by bit when the teacher wasn't looking. Then someone spilled the beans and it was confiscated in front of the whole class - just after a test drive out back. The next day I got called into the shop teacher's office. He handed it back and gave me a B+ ( would have been an A were it not for some vice marks on the head !) What a cool teacher.
