Younger generations may not appreciate the weight and balance of a good pen, but for those who still opt to use such writing tools from time to time, the CB + P by Bobby Davis is just for them. The Minneapolis, Minnesota-based designer has created a chic pen that rival its luxe competitors on a very personal level. It offers a way to customize the balance for the specific person it is being used by.
Foregoing the one-size-fits-all model, CB + P by Bobby Davis achieves this customized touch through the use of a brass sliding counterbalance. This added accessory is not only practical, it adds a nice visual touch to the aluminum-machined writing tool. It is designed around the Hi-Tec-C refill and is compatible with the Fisher Space Pen refill.
