Pen Models
Here’s a quick overview of the pen models currently available — each with its own shape and personality:
The Rockster |
The Rockster is my signature pen. It is a TroubleShooter 1313, (see below), and comes in beautiful black tortoiseshell cellulose acetate making it feel warm and soft to the touch in the way only real cellulose acetate can. It features a Rockster Red accent ring at the section, a logo finial coin and an upgraded Bock black No.6 nib. The only decision you have to make is what size nib you’d like (EF, F, M or B). |
TroubleShooter
|
The lack of a step between the section and barrel on the TroubleShooter gives it a clean look and feel and is perfect for "high grippers". It has a tapered barrel and cap. The standard size is a mid-size 1313 but other options are available. Length capped: ≈141mm Length uncapped: ≈134mm Postable: No (The cap cannot be mounted on the end of the barrel)) Step: None |
DayDreamer
|
This is my "go to" pen shape, a pen for all seasons. The DayDreamer shares the same length dimensions as the TroubleShooter but has a little more girth due to the 1mm step between the cap threads and the rest of the barrel. In the case of the 1315 model the threads are 13mm diameter and the barrel diameter is 15mm at its widest point. Both barrel and cap taper but this pen cannot be posted. It features a sterling silver logo coin as standard. Length capped: ≈141mm Length uncapped: ≈134mm Postable: No Step: 0.5mm |
Wooden DayDreamer
|
This wooden version of the Daydreamer shares the same dimensions as the standard model. Both barrel and cap are fully lined to prevent the nib drying out and any internal leaks damaging the wood. It tapers slightly towards each end. The wood used is typically stabilised and often dyed but occasionally un-stabilised wood is used. The wood is buffed to a satin finish whilst the finials and rings are highly polished. It features a sterling silver logo coin as standard. Length capped: ≈141mm Length uncapped: ≈134mm Postable: No Step: 1mm |
|
|
As the name suggests the DayDreamer Hex is a six sided version of the model. The carefully milled, polished facets capture the light rather like a cut diamond. There is an additional interest to the aesthetic of this model as both the barrel and cap gradually paper form the hexagonal shape to cylindrical ends. The standard model comes with sterling silver accent rings at the section and the cap finial. Length capped: ≈141mm Length uncapped: ≈134mm Postable: No Step: 0.8mm |
|
|
If a job's worth doing... This "cigar style" pen has rounded ends to the cap and barrel. The Jobsworth shape is pleasing on the eye and very tactile in the hand with a somewhat art-deco feel. It has no step between the section and barrel so another good option if you hold the pen higher up. The barrel and cap are tapered. Length capped: ≈140mm Length uncapped: ≈131mm Postable: No Step: None |
Rascal |
The Rascal is a shorter, wider fountain pen with a distinctive silhouette — both the cap and barrel taper towards the ends, giving it a wider midsection. It’s compact but full of character, with a comfortable, full-in-the-hand feel and a bold presence on the desk. Despite its cheeky name, The Rascal is every bit as refined as my other models — just with a bit more attitude. Length capped: ≈130mm Length uncapped: ≈123mm Postable: No |
|
|
This pen has slightly softened square ends to the barrel and the cap which have no taper towards the ends. The barrel has a slight step between the threads and the main body. The cap is 2mm wider than the barrel which gives the Headhunter a pleasing aesthetic feel. The barrel and cap have no taper, meaning this pen cannot be posted. Length capped: ≈140mm Length uncapped: ≈131mm Postable: No |
SweetTalker
|
Because this pen is "smooth"... When capped this model has no step between the barrel and the cap and has no taper towards the ends of the cap and barrel. The SweetTalker does have a small step between the threads and the main body. It features a sterling silver and red logo coin as standard. Length capped: ≈138mm Length uncapped: ≈134mm Postable: No |
|
|
The Hedonist is a smooth profile pen with the cap twisting onto the end, covering only the nib, rather than covering the entire section. This means there is no step on the pen, and the section has a hint of a waist to allow a comfortable grip. The barrel is slightly tapered and the cap has a sterling silver logo coin at the finial. Dimensions will vary based on the materials and nib used, with options of either a no5 or no6 Bock. Length capped: ≈ 138mm Length uncapped: ≈ 133mm Postable: No |
SmallTalker
|
A pocket pen. The SmallTalker is, essentially, a smaller version of the SweetTalker model with a flush cap and barrel when closed. The cap and barrel are also flush when posted creating a complete writing instrument that is 140mm long. Fitted with a number 6 nib, (Bock or Jowo options), it takes a single, universal ink cartridge. It features a sterling silver and red logo coin as standard. Length capped: ≈95mm Length uncapped (posted): ≈140mm Postable: Yes |
*Rockster pens are made from high quality fine materials which, by their very nature, require care when using. This especially true when posting the cap onto the barrel. The cap is designed to fit snugly with gentle pressure. Never force the cap as this will risk damaging the threads or even splitting the cap
Pen Finishing Styles
Rockster pens are available in a number of models, and each model is available in one of four styles — essentially, the level of finish and flourish:
0 Origin - No finials or accent rings, just pure simplicity. The most streamlined and affordable in the collection.
1 Signature - Same as Origin but with a single accent ring at the section. A sleek design with a hint of sophistication.
2 Maestro - Same as Signature but with a pocket clip and accent ring at the cap finial. A balanced blend of elegance and simplicity.
3 Artisan - Same as Maestro but with an additional accent ring at the barrel finial. The most detailed and luxurious of the styles.
Standard with Each Pen
- An enamel or silver finial coin with the Rockster splat logo
- Nibs - either Bock, Jowo or Schmidt No 6
- Schmidt K6 screw-in "standard international" converter
- Each pen comes in a reusable cardboard Rockster pen tube and some other little goodies, including a certificate of authenticity

Pen Sizes
Each pen is available in one of four sizes — based on the cap thread diameter, which influences the overall width and feel of the pen. For most models:
- Slim (12mm cap threads)
- Standard (13mm)
- Large (14mm)
- Max (15mm)
For The Rascal, the same thread sizes apply — but with playful names to suit the model’s character:
- Little Rascal (12mm)
- Usual Rascal (13mm)
- Big Rascal (14mm)
- Mighty Rascal (15mm)
If you’ve followed Rockster Pens for a while, you might remember my previous numbering system — things like 1313 or 1314. These referred to the pen’s dimensions: the first number was the cap thread diameter, the second was the barrel diameter, both in millimetres. For example:
1313 = 13mm cap threads, 13mm barrel (no step)
1314 = 13mm cap threads, 14mm barrel (with a slight step)
That system still underpins the way I build my pens — but I’ve now adopted a simpler naming system:
- 12mm → Slim
- 13mm → Standard
- 14mm → Large
- 15mm → Max
For The Rascal, the sizing follows the same structure but with a more playful twist:
- 12mm → Little Rascal
- 13mm → Usual Rascal
- 14mm → Big Rascal
- 15mm → Mighty Rascal
So if you still see numbers like 1313 floating around, now you’ll know — it’s all the same system underneath, just with a friendlier name on top.
