Between the ubiquity of computers and smartphones, hundreds of streaming services, and even Wi-Fi enabled kitchen appliances, it's clear we live in a digital age. Taking time the time unplug and to sit with a pen and notebook or ACTUALLY listen to a full album from start to finish is increasingly rare and, for our latest Seasonal Release, we're paying homage to being intentionally analog. Dust off your record collection, grab a pair of quality headphones, and get in the Groove.
When looking at our signature Tactile texture, it's hard not to draw parallels to the grooves of a vinyl record. To make the comparison complete, we added "track gaps" along the glossy black Cerakote Side Click body, accented with a bold bi-tone laser engraved clip pattern and blue, yellow, and burnt orange pops of color straight out of the 1960s and 70s. Fun fact: the track spacing are exactly matched to Side A from one of our favorite albums. Bonus points if you can figure it out...
To have some fun, the team also created a special "Artist Pressing" limited batch reminiscent of a splatter vinyl exclusive to memorialize a new release, tour, or remaster which will drop on launch day.
The Groove LP (Limited Production) features anodized bursts of blue, yellow, and orange on the titanium body that pairs well with lava lamps, shag carpets, and UV posters.
Music plays a huge part in the lives of many but, even if you don't tour the country in a busted van, blow your eardrums out twice a week at local shows, or play an instrument, the Groove is a little reminder to take time for yourself and appreciate deliberate simplicity. Offered in all 3 lengths, each order includes a commemorative box, sticker, and set of 3 music-inspired 1" pins.
Groove will be available for purchase starting January 30, 2025 until March 31, 2025.

Fully Custom Cerakote Finishing
Cerakote is a thin coating of ceramic that we apply to the surface of titanium pens in our own paint shop. It's abrasion, chemical, temperature, and scratch resistance but not proof. Hard wear will still show on Cerakote but we love that it gives us the ability to put colors on our pens without adding any serious weight or thickness.
Available for a Limited Time Only
