That grip is from an Orenz metal grip.
I don’t have any advanced tools, I’m mostly combining or slightly modifying existing parts.
Yes, that is a KIN 5201 body, with a pencil ferrule and the plastic hardness indicator from a PG5, plus a copper rod shaped to be a knock cap.
Drilled out the front (back), to fit a different mechanism, modified to fit into a threaded part, to fit in a threaded tube inserted into the KIN.
Tried out a pentagonal grip in leather.
Way more comfortable than it looks, but probably just works for a tripod grip.
Very interesting! I found a leftover box of pentagonal-shaped wooden Palomino pencils many a moons ago, and I find those more comfortable than the pencils with standard hexagonal grip. I would be curious to see how this barrel fits my writing style, especially considering that I have never been able to grip a triangular barrel without feeling completely off.
I also like the tapered rear end and the decorative tailpiece; this model looks like a steampunk pencil, the pairing of the metal (brass, perchance?) with the leather is exquisite.
Great job @speedfreek !
Is the body polygonturned?
No idea what that means.
I bought a couple of plastic cog-wheels and removed cogs until I had a perfect pentagon. Then careful use of handheld powertools until I had a pentagonal grip the size I liked.
looked up Polygon turning on CNC.
That is some dark magic witchery…
