Nahvalur first capless pen, the Eclipse is the culmination of two years of design. Precision machined out of aluminum, the Eclipse operates without a button; instead the entire body is pushed together to actuate the mechanism. Featuring a twelve sided faceted design and a removable clip, the Eclipse is: striking, sleek

Did you folks see this rather odd capless pen?

It’s certainly novel, but two-handed deploy kind of defeats the point, no?

Also it’s apparently quite uncomfortable to use. Shame.

    I’ve had my eye on this just for completeness for a while. It’s one of the very few retractables that I don’t own at this point.

      Maybe keep an eye on the second hand market? I dint think it’s worth the asking price given its flaws.

      Indeed. If it were closer to 30-40 I may have done it, just for science!
