Models & Styles

Introduction

Every Rockster Pen is individually handmade in Cardiff, Wales. Each one is turned on the lathe, shaped by hand, and finished to highlight the unique character of the materials.

This page explains the different models I make, the styles (trim levels) available, and the sizes you can choose from. For prices and upgrade options, see Prices & Options.

Models


DayDreamer

Built with presence. The DayDreamer has a bold, purposeful profile - a small step, straight lines with a subtle taper that makes it feel solid and reliable in the hand.

  • Length (uncapped, incl. nib): ~128 mm
  • Weight: 28g, (uncapped ~14 g)
  • Profile: Straight barrel with gentle taper near the end

HeadHunter

Striking and assertive. The HeadHunter combines clean lines with a distinctive silhouette. A small step with no taper. A pen that makes itself known without being overstated.

  • Length (uncapped, incl. nib):  ~128 mm
  • Weight: 28g, (uncapped ~14 g)
  • Profile: Straight lines, no taper

Rascal

Shorter and fuller, the Rascal has a more rounded, organic feel. Both cap and barrel taper towards the ends, making the centre the broadest part of the pen.

  • Length (uncapped, incl. nib): ~123 mm
  • Weight: 28g, (uncapped ~14 g)
  • Profile: Tapers to both ends, fuller at the middle

TroubleShooter

A versatile, classic shape. The barrel has no step and runs straight from the threads. It begins to taper near the end. It balances well in hand and has become the foundation model of the Rockster line.

  • Length (uncapped, incl. nib):  ~128 mm
  • Weight: 28g, (uncapped ~14 g)
  • Profile: Strong barrel with a more pronounced taper toward the end

Styles

Each of the above models 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.

    Sizes & Grip

    Each Rockster Pen is available in four sizes, defined by the cap thread diameter. This sets the overall width and feel of the pen:

    • 12 mm → Slim
    • 13 mm → Standard
    • 14 mm → Large
    • 15 mm → Max

    For The Rascal, the same thread sizes apply but with playful names to match the model’s character:

    • 12 mm → Little Rascal
    • 13 mm → Usual Rascal
    • 14 mm → Big Rascal
    • 15 mm → Mighty Rascal

    All Rockster grip sections use a gentle hourglass (waisted) profile: wider at the ends, slimmer at the centre.
