Category: Tornado Vintage Metalsmith

Futurist, inventor, electrical and mechanical engineer, Nikola Tesla was a genius well ahead of his time. His inventions are still being used to this day and his theories were so advanced that they continue to be studied, experimented on and even power the modern world. This Tornado's design was inspired by Tesla's spiral coil used in his wireless power experiments. Concentric circles are acid-etched into the barrel then plated in copper and finished with platinum appointments giving it a radiant and magnetic aesthetic. Each rollerball is loaded into a commemorative packaging tube that doubles as a pen stand when not in use. Pick up this new Tornado and rub shoulders with genius.

Ryan F. ★★★★★

The copper barrel has that warm, aged look that fits the Tesla theme perfectly, and the rollerball glides smoothly without any skipping. I've been using it daily for notes and it feels like a solid piece of history in my hand. The cap snaps on with a satisfying click that never loosens.

Matthew M. ★★★★★

The weight of this pen is perfect for long writing sessions, and the rollerball glides so smoothly it feels like the ink is doing all the work. I love that the Tesla theme is subtle enough to use at the office, but still sparks a conversation every time someone picks it up.

Christopher V. ★★★★★

The engraved Tesla portrait on the barrel gives it a real museum-piece feel, and the rollerball glides smoothly enough that I’ve been using it for daily notes instead of my usual pen. It’s a bit heavier than I expected, but that weight makes it feel substantial in hand.
