basik.007 details

The basik.007 became our first official Limited Edition last year for Black Friday with the release of the Tactical Turkey pen. Now that we've made our way through the holidays, and wrapped up the full production run of the basik.007, we're primed and ready for the full release of this pen. Josh went for a more angular design on the basik.007 giving the pen a more aggressive look. The main grip area has added ridges, not as pronounced as the basik.002, but enough to add noticeable texture when gripping. The grip area angles down at the midpoint, before angling back out for the clip area, and finally toward the upper portion of the body some added symmetry for the tip we have another machined angle. Our initial 3d models looked strange, but once we had a physical pen in our hands we realized just how comfortable the design is. It's less aggressive than the basik.006 with the large rings and texturing, but still a very striking design. Perfect if you enjoy pens that don't look like other options on the market. The basik.007 retains it's simple functional method of refill deployment making it virtually failure free and requiring minimal maintenance, but if you run into any issues it also has a Lifetime Warranty.

Did you lose a button, piston, or spring? We now have a basik parts kit available.

Designs take a step back from complexity of form to focus more fully on function. Everyday Karas products will feature minimal parts in an effort to reduce failures and maintenance while focusing on streamlining the manufacturing process with the use of our CNC machining technology. Minimalism and simplicity are NOT the goal; rather they are two reference points as we journey back to the basics of our design language and process will shape the product and categories Everyday Karas focuses on. Everyday Karas will redefine the durable writing instrument for everyday carry use by first identifying what an everyday carry pen "needs" to accomplish. The design and manufacturing will follow suit benefiting heavily from the advances we’ve made in the last thirteen years.

Karas Pen Co is the sister-company of Everyday Karas, founded in 2008 under the Karas Kustoms, LLC formation, and later rebranded Karas Pen Co in 2016.
