Mini Zebras
on: January 08, 2012, 07:39:42 PM
So not happy with the length of my m-701,f-f-701 so I shortened them to fit in my side pocket without stabbing me. I also made a short stylus to match. Here's some pics





And next to the full size version



Perfect for what I need...although they are not black ugh.
If I remember correctly, wait, what was I saying?

They could if they were really stainless. But Zebra lied. They're not. It's brass coated with stainless :rant:

It seems the long barrel is stainless. The knurl, clicker, bottom, is coated brass. But I may be able to find a piece of brass that size.

No. There's a plastic insert that I just cut into the appropriate sizes for the pen and pencil. The stylus was a bit more difficult.

Have you tried the telescopic zebra pens? They collapse down to size but pull to full length.  They help eliminate the getting poked problem.   :pok:

I tried them and there ok, just not for me. These little pens fit perfect in my jeans carpenter pocket. Or they also fit very nice in Metros new sheath ;)
