Pen Kit Required / Not Included

This listing is for ONE (1) Genuine 1/2" Steel Rebar pen blank to fit the Steampunk Bolt Action ballpoint pen, as pictured in the photos. This blank has been drilled; a 3/8” brass tube glued in and faced off in a metal lathe to the
proper
length. The rebar has been cleaned with a wire wheel, (but not to a bare metal shine so as not to
lose
the natural rebar look) then a clear coat is applied to seal and protect the steel. At this point you can just assemble it on the kit of your choice. The Steampunk kit (Not Included) is available in Antique Pewter & Copper, Antique Brass & Copper, and Antique Brass & Copper.
BUT this listing is for the blank only
; the kit is not included
but is available from PSI and others. T
he listing is for the 1/2" Rebar blank. This kit can take the 1/2" rebar or 5/8" rebar. Both are pictured so you can decide which look that you prefer. The REBAR pen body is very unique and not like the standard pen blanks that you buy. / Blank #442
ABOUT REBAR:
Rebar
(short for reinforcing bar), also known as reinforcing steel. Common rebar is made of unfinished tempered
steel. Rebar is used as a tension device in reinforced concrete and masonry structures to strengthen and hold the concrete in compression.
The majority of rebar are deformed, as opposed to round. Rebar's surface is patterned to form a better bond with the concrete.
The ribs and depressions on its surface can increase the bond strength with concrete and prevent slippage. The pattern vary but usually there are two raised lines running the length of the bar 180˚apart with a spiral pattern between them. The deformed rebar is NOT ROUND. The diameter across the raised bars is larger than the diameter opposite the bars.
Rebar is tempered steel that is case hardened. The core is alloy steel but the closer to the outside the harder the steel gets. This makes drilling it a real problem. I use special hard drill bits manufactured from tungsten and molybdenum to increased hardness and with cobalt added to ensure superior heat resistanc
