Like many of the pens this one was a special order with the client wanting a specific size and shape. Because of the size, we’re calling it a “mini” Lhotse. It has the same cigar style shape as the Lhotse, but has a much thinner diameter. And rather than the gradual taper you’ll find on the Lhotse, it has a straighter profile along the length.

The straighter profile is necessary with the thin diameter. And in order to get the pen as thin as it is, I had to use a slip-fit tenon instead of threads on the section because the diameter of the parts was too small for threads. But it has a nice tight fit and works well. It was hard to tell the size of the pen in the photo’s, so I added the penny in the photo’s below for a size comparison.

Miscellaneous items:
I also offer a variety of hand-made pen-related items. Pen Props, pen cap Buttons, Pen and Ink Trays, Cufflinks, and Button Covers. Use a Pen Props to display a pen or temporarily raise the nib. Order in a pen-matching material or a wooden style in a variety of finishes. Cap Buttons are small pieces of cap jewelry you can add to a clipless pen to keep it from rolling. Use a Pen & Ink Trays to display your favorite pen and ink. Trays are available in several styles and in your choice of natural wood. Cufflinks and Button Covers are timeless favorites that dress up a shirt. Order them in pen-matching material.
