Compson Ballpoint Pen with Genuine Rebar Body & Chrome Hardware / #257

Description

**** GENUINE PEN BODY ****
The Compson is a handmade top button click action Parker Style ballpoint pen made by Placid Crafts. Yes, this pen is made from a genuine 1/2" Rebar Rod. The Hardware on this pen is Chrome. The pen is 5-1/4" long. I would consider this a standard diameter pen with a 1/2" rebar body. With the rebar pen body this pen heavier than the poly resin blanks. The rebar pen body is very unique and not like the standard pen blanks that you buy. This pen body has a spray protective covering to help prevent the body from rusting. This pen has the antique look that is so popular.  It will take on an antique look (or Patina) as it ages.  /  Pen #257
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 resistanc
