Stumbled upon this while browsing the Reddit MP sub (LINK). Curious design. While I like the idea of the exposed spring, I’m kind of thinking there should be a clear or translucent bellows cowling to keep debris from getting underneath the spring.

But if Yosef provides some specialized springs, they could be of different tensions to accommodate preferences. Spoke Design is doing that with their Spoke Clicky Pen coming out soon. You get 3 springs with different tensions.

It is a nice design. The grip is bold yet not offensive. I think the bellows would detract from the design - just disassemble for cleaning.

Since I was searching for an ‘exposed spring’ pen for the longest time to go with my Sprinter, I feel this design needs a beefier spring to go with the overall aesthetic.
