Big Idea Design × Chaves – Fountain Pen with Cult Status
Two heavyweights of the EDC scene in one brilliant collab: Big Idea Design and Ramon Chaves created a fountain pen that has everything fans love.
Titanium with a stonewashed finish or black DLC, the legendary Chaves Skull Clip – and as the highlight, a Bock nib that matches the finish. Black nib to DLC body and silver to stonewash. Compact, robust, and ready for daily carry – a true must-have for collectors and everyday writers alike.
Why you’ll want this pen

Bock nib (EF) – precise writing, gorgeous contrast to the finish.

Big Idea Design x Chaves
Bolt action pen
Signature Chaves Skull Clip
Schmidt P900 refill
Two brands you recognise instantly by one detail. With Chaves it’s the skull clip, with Big Idea Design it’s the titanium and the mechanism. This collaboration brings both together in one pen, as a limited edition, in stonewashed or Black DLC.
Bolt action means: you push the bolt forward with your thumb, the refill comes out, and it makes a solid mechanical clack. The principle comes from the bolt-action rifle and has caught on in EDC because nothing deploys by accident — the bolt has to be walked through its track before the tip appears. So nothing happens in your pocket that you get to admire on the inside of your trousers afterwards.
The body is turned from solid titanium at 10,9 cm overall. Short enough for the notebook in your pouch, long enough that your hand doesn’t cramp while writing. The stonewashed finish absorbs new scratches instead of putting them on display, while the DLC version stays matt and deep black and disappears into a blacked-out setup. The deep carry clip can be reversed, which lefties will appreciate. And sitting on top of it is the Chaves skull clip.
About the story behind that skull: “chaves” is Portuguese for “keys”. The skull points to Golgotha, the place of the skull. Out of both came the skeleton key in the brand logo of Ramon Chaves, who started out as a custom maker and whose overbuilt folders are now among the best-known names in the EDC segment.
Big Idea Design, in turn, is based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, was founded in 2009 by Chadwick Parker and Joe Huang and broke through on Kickstarter in 2011. Titanium has run through nearly everything they’ve made since, and every pen carries a lifetime warranty. The Base Line is their deliberately accessible series: the same build quality as the flagship models, but instead of the auto-adjusting collet that swallows hundreds of refill formats, it’s set up for the Parker standard. A Schmidt P900 comes fitted from the factory, and because Parker-style is so widespread you can switch to just about anything you’re used to. Ballpoint through gel.
Who’s it for? Anyone with a Chaves in their pocket who wants the matching pen. And anyone after a titanium pen that gets written with rather than sitting in a display case.

Four Bombs, One Job!
Probably the best-known titanium bottle opener in the EDC scene is dropping – and in four sizes at once. The Beer Bomb by NotoriousEDC is opener and little pry tool in one, machined from grade-5 titanium and made to be used rather than admired. Pick the bomb that fits you and your EDC kit:
Baby Bomb – the fun-size version at 3/4 of the original. At roughly 4.8 mm and only around 17 g it lives on your keyring, in your backpack or in the glovebox. Don’t let the size fool you, it pops caps like a big one.
Original – the benchmark at roughly 6.4 mm thick. The classic everything else is measured against.
Big Poppa – 50 % thicker than the original, around 9.5 mm and about 60 g. Sits really solid in the hand if the standard feels too dainty for you.
Atomic – twice as thick as the original, around 12.7 mm and just under 79 g. Not subtle, no question about it! If you’re after understatement, you’re in the wrong place.
Why do we carry this tool? Because a comparable model was classified as a prohibited weapon by the BKA (Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office), but we found a clean solution. Together with NotoriousEDC we developed a 3D-printed insert (with the Knife Lounge armchair, of course) that closes off the opening and puts an end to any discussion.
Some pens you buy. Some pens you keep. The Ansø Pen belongs to the second category — though you'll only realize that the moment you pick it up.
You probably know Jens Ansø as a Danish knife designer — someone whose work is defined by clean lines, functional forms, and the deliberate absence of anything unnecessary. That same design language is what drives the Ansø Pen, his first writing instrument. The slim 8 mm profile, the consistently straight body, the precision-threaded cap: if you know Ansø's folders, you'll recognize the handwriting immediately. And if you've ever held a Rotring 600, you'll get that déjà-vu too — that clear, technical geometry where form and function sit so close together you can't tell where one ends and the other begins.
The pen is machined in Texas by Tactile Turn, one of the few US manufacturers who truly understand precision machining in the EDC space. The result is a writing instrument built from solid material — either titanium at 19.2 g or brass at 33.5 g, with the Aged Brass variant arriving with a warm, lived-in finish that looks like yours from day one. The 40 mm knurled grip section keeps things exactly where they should be, even after an hour of sketching — not by accident, but by the same ergonomic thinking that goes into every Ansø blade: comfort that doesn't announce itself, but disappears the moment it's gone.
It ships with a Japanese OHTO PS-105NP gel refill (blue) — writes clean, no skipping, no bleeding. If you prefer Schmidt 9000 G2-compatible refills, swapping is straightforward. 135 mm total length, threaded cap, milled clip — this pen is built for your pocket, your carry pouch, or your shirt pocket.
Titanium or brass? Titanium is lighter, harder, more durable — classic EDC logic. Brass brings weight, a denser feel in hand, and a patina that develops in a way titanium never will. Aged Brass gives you a head start right out of the box.
Who's it for? Anyone who stopped compromising on their carry a long time ago — and eventually noticed that the cheap ballpoint rattling around in their jacket pocket didn't quite fit anymore.

The Big Idea Design Bolt Action Marker is essentially a permanent marker – just built the way you’d want it as an EDC tool.
No plastic body, no cap that disappears after a week. Instead, you get a solid metal construction with a bolt-action mechanism – that same satisfying “click” you usually only get from high-end EDC pens.
Inside, it runs on inserts from retractable Sharpie permanent markers. No proprietary refills, no hassle. When it runs dry, you just swap the insert and keep going.
The internal sealing system is what makes this work. It keeps the refill from drying out, even though there’s no traditional cap.
Refill changes are tool-free thanks to the magnetic tip. Everything stays in place, nothing rattles around.
Add a deep carry clip, and this is something you actually carry – not just leave on your desk.
Workshop, warehouse, cardboard, cables, wood, quick marks on the go – this isn’t a marker you lose in a drawer. It’s a refillable tool for people who are done with disposable gear.

Griffin Mini Click Pen
Keith Griffin is based near Toronto and is well known in the EDC scene, especially for his Combat Beads, which he designed and produced himself for many years. Over time, this evolved into his own brand – Griffin Company.
The Mini Click Pen fits right into that world. No big statement piece, just a tool you carry and use.
Its compact size makes it disappear easily in your pocket, while still feeling right in hand. The proportions are dialed in so it doesn’t feel like a backup pen, but like a deliberately designed EDC tool.
The pen is made in Canada, which shows in the clean execution and attention to detail.
The Grade 5 titanium clip is milled rather than bent, making it more durable and secure in the pocket.
Inside, it runs a Tuff Writer click mechanism paired with a Pilot G2 Mini refill. Nothing exotic, just a reliable and easy-to-replace setup that works.
You can choose between titanium or Vintage Brass. The brass version is especially interesting, as it develops its own patina over time. The surface softens, picks up marks from daily use, and gradually takes on its own character.
This isn’t a pen you keep in perfect condition. It’s one you use, carry, and let age naturally.
A pen that doesn’t need attention to be part of your everyday carry.

The Lynch Northwest Open Door Policy Prybar v1.1 is one of those tools you underestimate at first — and then end up using every single day. Its size sits perfectly between a mini prybar and a heavy-duty lever tool, making it an ideal titanium prybar for everyday carry. Compact enough for your pocket, tough enough for real work. Exactly what you want from an EDC prybar that does more than just open boxes.
Made from premium Grade 5 titanium, this prybar is incredibly lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and built to handle serious force. Perfect for tasks where you’d rather not risk your knife blade: stubborn shipping boxes, tight lids, wooden crates, or metal rings that just won’t give in. Instead of abusing your knife, you reach for the right tool — and this titanium EDC tool was built precisely for that purpose.
True to Lynch tradition, the deep-carry pocket clip is manufactured in-house. Pocket clips are Casey’s specialty, and you can feel the difference immediately: secure retention, low-profile carry, and quick access without getting in the way. Pull it out, apply pressure, get the job done. No gimmicks — just pure function.
Yet the ODP v1.1 is more than just a hardworking tool. Casey Lynch is known for his creative and distinctive designs, and it clearly shows here. Clean lines, precise CNC machining, and a range of titanium finishes turn this prybar into a collectible piece of functional EDC gear. A tool made to be used — but one that looks just as good displayed next to your favorite knives.
Made in the USA, developed and manufactured in Washington State.
A compact titanium prybar for everyday carry. Protects your knife, fits every pocket, and looks seriously good doing it.

(Most) knives are not made for prying. Therefore, Prybars are becoming increasingly more popular in the EDC scene. With these little pocket tools, you can pry at will without having to worry about a knife blade.
Vero Engineering has come up with an extremely well thought-out answer to theese problems in the form of the Fulcrum. The prybar is milled entirely from lightweight titanium, weighs a mere 29 grams and is hardly noticeable in the pocket thanks to the flat clip. The most brilliant thing about the Fulcrum is the possibility of carrying two micro-bits by held by two O-rings, which can be inserted on the top of the clip. baslcially you not only have a pry tool, but also a bit holder at the same time.
By the way, the bits come from Wiha in Germany. This owner-managed company, is one of the leading tool manufacturers in the world and stands with its name for the highest quality. In the holder for the bits sits a small neodymium magnet, which ensures a secure hold.
Included are 4 micro bits:1 x T81 x T101 x cross slot1 x slot+ Also comes with an additional set of O-rings and a microfiber cloth.

Some pens are just writing tools. The Abstract Pen by Tactile Turn is more like a tiny canvas for your pocket. For this Seasonal Release, a white Cerakote base was chosen – and then the control was deliberately let go: black splatter is applied by hand. No pattern repeats, and no two pens are alike. What you see is entirely up to you – a Rorschach test, streetwear vibes, modern art, or maybe even 101 Dalmatians. That’s exactly the idea.
At its core is the proven Titanium Bolt Action Pen, fully made in the USA – from the body to the final assembly. You can feel the quality immediately: precisely machined, with a smooth, zero-play Bolt-Action mechanism. The bolt and internal components are DLC-coated – extremely hard, highly durable, and giving that premium, mechanical feel you won’t want to put down.
As a contrast to the black-and-white splatter, you can choose colored accents on the end piece: Black, Red, Blue, or Yellow. A small detail with surprisingly big impact. The Abstract Pen is available in Standard or Short versions – depending on whether you want a “full-sized pen” or a compact, always-ready pocket companion.
The Cerakote coating is more than just color. It’s an extremely durable ceramic finish, originally developed for heavy-duty use – including modern firearms manufacturing. This means it looks special and truly stands up to everyday wear.

Tactile Turn Switch Stonewashed Pen – Titanium, Nostalgia and True EDC Feel
There’s a certain moment when an old toggle switch snaps into place. That satisfying, mechanical click. Honest. Direct. That’s exactly the feeling the Tactile Turn Switch brings back. No classic bolt. No ordinary click mechanism. Instead, a sliding switch inspired by vintage hardware — nostalgic in spirit, addictive in use.
Machined from solid titanium and finished in stonewashed texture, the Switch carries that tool-forward aesthetic EDC enthusiasts appreciate. The surface has a subtle, worn-in character, offers natural grip, and handles everyday wear with ease. Minor marks simply blend into the finish. This isn’t polished for display — it’s built to be used.
Fully disassemblable and serviceable, precision-made in the USA, the Switch is engineered so the mechanism doesn’t just function — it delivers experience. The defined resistance. The deliberate snap into place. That controlled mechanical feel. It’s intentional.
The Tactile Turn Switch Stonewashed is available in two sizes. The Standard version measures approximately 5.6 inches and is compatible with Pilot G2 refills. It offers a slightly longer body and a balanced, full-size writing feel — ideal for extended writing sessions or larger hands. The Short version comes in at about 5.3 inches, uses Parker-style refills such as the Schmidt EasyFlow 9000, and fits perfectly into compact, minimalist EDC setups. Both versions share the same build quality and mechanism — the choice comes down to personal preference.
If you’re looking for a titanium EDC pen that does more than just write — one that delivers tactile feedback and mechanical satisfaction — the Switch is a strong contender. Available from Knife Lounge in Hamburg, online with fast shipping throughout Germany and the EU, or directly in-store.
The Tactile Turn Switch Stonewashed is for detail junkies, mechanical nerds, and anyone who pauses for a second when they see precisely machined titanium. For those who know a great pen can carry just as much character as a great knife — just with ink instead of an edge.
