About
A compact EDC pen built for pockets, packs, and daily notes. The JAMES° Stilwell is a mini ballpoint with a 303 stainless steel barrel that feels solid without the bulk. It uses a twist-off cap with an attached lanyard, so quick deploy is easy whether it’s clipped to a key ring or tucked in that coin pocket on your jeans.
Design-wise, the proportions are clean and balanced. At 5.4 inches and 0.4 inch diameter, it lands in a sweet spot: small enough to disappear, large enough to write comfortably. The machined finish resists wear, and the stainless body gives it that cool, tool-like vibe you expect from premium EDC.
Function matters here. The Stilwell runs standard D1 cartridges, which means refills are everywhere and swapping ink is painless. Weight is a light 0.7 oz, so it won’t drag down your carry. The twist cap keeps pockets safe while maintaining a quick, one-hand motion once you learn the rhythm.
If you want a minimal, durable pen that looks the part and doesn’t shout about it, this hits the mark. It’s the kind of small upgrade that makes everyday writing feel intentional.
