**** Deer Hunter Bolt Action Ballpoint ****
This is a handmade Bolt Action Ballpoint Pen made by Placid Crafts. Yes, this pen is hand turned from a 1/2" Rebar Rod. The Hardware on this pen is Antique Pewter. The Bolt Action works as the ink to retract or advance the ink for writing. The Rifle Case makes it a real eye catcher. The pen is 5-3/8" long. I would consider this a standard diameter. The REBAR pen body is lightly cleaned and sprayed with a clear lacquered finish but retains the some of the ruff rebar look. This is not like the standard pens and will be somewhat heavier but not overly heavy, it is a 1/2" steel rebar body but has a 3/8" hole drilled through it for the workings of the pen. Pen #67
The standard Fisher “SPR Series” Refills were developed for NASA and have been used on EVERY Space Shuttle mission both American and Russian. They are hermetically sealed with a specially formulated thixotropic ink and pressurized to about 35 PSI. They are the only refills that will write at any angle because they do not rely on gravity.
ABOUT REBAR:
Rebar (short for reinforcing bar), also known as reinforcing steel. Common rebar is made of unfinished tempered steel. Rebar is used as a tension device in reinforced concrete and masonry structures to strengthen and hold the concrete in compression.
Rebar is tempered steel that is case hardened. The core is alloy steel but the closer to the outside the harder the steel gets. This makes drilling it a real problem. I use special hard drill bits manufactured from tungsten and molybdenum to increased hardness and with cobalt added to ensure superior heat resistance.

About Placid Crafts:
Placid crafts specializes in handmade pens both conventional handmade and their signature metal series pens. These are made on a metal lathe form solid metal round stock blanks; these are made from Rebar, Aluminum, Brass, and Copper. These are drilled out to 3/8” and a brass tube glued in to mount the hardware to. The Rebar is lightly cleaned on a wire wheel and sprayed with a clear coat to protect the steel from rusting. The other metal pens are turned to the proper size and the sanded for a smooth surface. These pen bodies are not sealed or coated. They will patina as each type of metal will. They will get darker as they age and the patina gives them the antique look that is so popular right now.
