Do you know what rules, if you can forgive the pun? The CW&T Pen Type-A. It’s a pen, it’s a ruler, it’s a beautiful sculpture for your desk that is manufactured to perfection. The minimalist pen and ruler combination consists of a solid steel block that is milled to contain a cylindrical pen, all machined in the USA with incredibly strict tolerances. In fact, they are so fine that the pen actually “pops” when removed from the block, which is both impressive and satisfying. The pen, though simple in appearance has clever features, like a stepped tip for greater visibility.

Currently available in “classic” set up, the block features a standard ruler with CM and IN markings, and includes a .3mm cartridge. Refills are available here.
