Steampunk is a subtype of science fiction/fantasy that incorporates technology and designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery. The term steampunk refers to artistic styles, clothing fashions, or subcultures that have developed since its inception in the 1980s. Bottom line is that it is very, very cool and I am happy to make something that people can enjoy.
This beautiful and interesting pen is designed to invoke the steampunk genre inspired by 19th century industrial steam-powered machinery. What better way to enhance your steampunk outfit than this smart pen? The mechanism is a bolt-action lever that lowers and raises the writing tip. The pen is decorated with many screw heads and cylinders resembling a gattling gun.
