Another Kickstarter pen - PIUMA Super Minimal Fountain Pen

Another clean minimal design pen in classic cigar shape that comes in multiple materials. Like Nova Minimal Fountain Pen, again no clip. I need clips on my pen! I almost jumped on Nova pen but no clip ultimately held me on the sidelines. Is it that much more difficult to put a clip on a pen? I have a nagging suspicion that these "minimal design" pens don't have clips because the designer couldn't come up with economical or efficient way to add clip in the manufacturing process - i.e. they are either too dumb or lazy.

While I prefer pens without clips, nothing in the group really takes my fancy...

Sometimes less is less.

FP noobs, and noob FP makers, still think a smooth, cold metal section is a great thing. For many people, it really isn't.

I think you are correct. They still look like Fisher Space pens to me. Not a fan...they look kinda boring.

Lessen it's made from Sterling silver and not harder metals.

Pens without clips feel incomplete to me. A pen needs a clip must, otherwise looks like a simple lathe product.

I agree, I really don't like pens without clips. I actually need those clips so I can carry my pen. Also I don't like pens that can't be posted. I don't want to have the cap just rolling around the table especially when I only have a small writing surface. Like when I am traveling.
