*** RAW SOLID ALUMINUM PEN BODY ****
This is a handmade twist action ballpoint pen made by Placid Crafts. Yes, this pen is made from a Solid Aluminum Rod. The Hardware on these pens is Gun Metal. The rod is cut to length, drilled out and a brass tube glued in. From there it is turned in a metal lathe to shape and fit and sanded and polished. The pen is 5-1/2" long. I would consider this a standard diameter pen because the pen body is .480 and the knurled grip is .393. and with the aluminum pen body this pen weighs 1.5 oz. The raw aluminum pen body is very unique and not like the standard pen blanks that you buy. This pen body is RAW Aluminum, It has no lacquer, sealer, or acrylic covering. This pen will Patina as raw aluminum will. New as it is, it is shiny. Aluminum is a soft metal and will scuff up, scratch, and age as raw aluminum.

ABOUT REBAR:
Rebar (short for
reinforcing bar), also known as reinforcing steel.  Common rebar is made of unfinished tempered
steel. Rebar is used as a tension device in reinforced concrete and masonary structures to strengthen and hold the concrete in compression.
The majority of rebar are deformed, as opposed to round. Rebar's surface is patterned to form a better bond with the concrete.
The ribs and depressions on its surface can increase the bond strength with concrete and prevent slippage. The pattern vary but usually there are two raised lines running the length of the bar 180˚apart with a spiral pattern between them. The deformed rebar is NOT ROUND. The diameter across the raised bars is larger than the diameter opposite the bars.
Rebar is tempered steel that is case hardened. The core is alloy steel but the closer to the outside the harder the steel gets. This makes drilling it a real problem. I use special hard drill bits manufactured from tungsten and molybdenum to increased hardness and with cobalt added to ensure superior heat resistanc
