The Maker's Take: Machined Pen Tolerances
The difference between a $30 and $300 machined pen often comes down to tolerances. Premium makers hold 0.001" or tighter on threading — that's what gives you a butter-smooth cap close. Material choice also matters: titanium pens are lighter than steel and develop a unique patina over time.
