Throw Back 2mm Pencil with 24ct. Gold with A Genuine 1/2" Rebar Body #243

Description: **** Genuine 1/2" Rebar Pencil Body **** This is a handmade 2mm Mechanical Pencil made by Placid Crafts. This series has all the features you look for in a heavy lead pencil. It features a top click lead advance, replaceable eraser, built in lead sharpener, sturdy pocket clip, and a hex grip. The hardware on this pencil is 24ct. Gold, and the body is genuine 1/2" Rebar. The Rebar rod is cut to length, drilled out and a brass tube glued in for fitting to the hardware. The pencil is 6" long with the lead out, ready to write. I would consider this a standard to larger diameter pencil because the pen body is 1/2" Rebar. This is a heavier than normal pencil because of the body. The 24ct. Gold plated hardware looks great against the spiral rebar for an aged look. This pencil also comes with two tubes of 2mm X 3-1/2" leads with five leads in each tube. We are also adding a five pack of white refill erasers. Additional refill packs are available in our eBay store. Make no mistake, this pencil is very unique. #243 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 masonry 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 resistance. About Placid Crafts:Placid Crafts specializes in handmade pens both conventional handmade and their signature metal series pens. These are made on a metal lathe form solid metal round stock blanks; these are made from Rebar, Aluminum, Brass, and Copper. These are drilled out to 3/8” and a brass tube glued in to mount the hardware to. The Rebar is lightly cleaned on a wire wheel and sprayed with a clear coat to protect the steel from rusting. The other metal pens are turned to the proper size and the sanded for a smooth surface. These pen bodies are not sealed or coated. They will patina as each type of metal will. They will get darker as they age and the patina gives them the antique look that is so popular right now. Thank You From Cyber Pen Sales
