Functional and capable of taking down zombies! |
When
the Zombie Apocalypse finally happens, what will you take? Family? Weapons? Food stores?
A sketchy-heart-of-gold-type with an impressive crossbow and tracking
skills-set?
If
nothing else, don’t forget your Travis Mohrman original steampunk pen.
Oh
that’s right. There are many pens in the
world. This is not one of them. Travis makes original, one-of-a-kind heirloom
pens, and mine, the steampunk design, will set your heart going pitter-pat and make
your mouth salivate with desire.
You
will have to have it.
But
you can’t. It’s mine.
There
are other pens, most in beautifully worked wood with comfort grips that your
fingers will thank you for. They are a
bit on the pricy side for a writing implement.
But when you’re surrounded, your gun jams, your sword breaks, and your tracker/crossbowman
is rendered unconscious by an inconvenient plot twist, reach into your back
pocket for one of these little marvels, and you won’t be disappointed.

The
weight of the thing is what will strike you first. Travis doesn’t make some kind of plastic or
aluminum-painted pens. This is made from
honest-to-goodness wood and metal. Wood,
felled by impressively large lumberjacks wearing plaid and eating gravel. Metal, the kind that shirtless men with bulging
muscles must hammer into shape from a fiery kiln while making offerings to
Crom.
Yar!
There
really aren’t enough good things to say about Travis and his creations. They are functional art, which is probably
the highest compliment. These are the
kind of items that we always yearn for, when we have to settle for the
mass-produced, mass-consumed, and mass-disposed-of everyday items: pens,
keyboards, computers and children.
Just
kidding about the children. Mostly.
