The time has finally come for us to release our inaugural
Special Edition. Earlier this year we rolled out our first W.A. Karas Signature
Limited Edition pens. But during the process of working on those pens, we
started to brainstorm ideas around Special Edition pieces as well. The idea was
to include some other companies that had similar a similar outlook on being
American “makers”. It wasn’t hard for us to decide on Nock Co. as our first
partner. It also helped that they were in the works creating yet another
stellar pen/notepad case. So our brainstorming began to take on a more focused
approach. The stars pretty much aligned when Dan sat down and started work on
designing the Karas Pen Co notebooks. As he finalized the Arizona state flag
onto the notebook, we realized a great first Special Edition would take on an
Arizona theme.
It’s probably not a surprise to anyone that we take pride in
the “Made in America” branding. But we have always felt that “Made in Arizona”
is another equally important descriptor of Karas Kustoms and Karas Pen Co. With
that in mind and our new Arizona themed notebooks we set out to create an
Arizona themed Special Edition. An edition that carries elements of the Copper
State laid out in a manner that fits both Karas and Nock Co. The Karas Pen Co.
Superstition is the culmination of all of this hard work.
This special edition takes its name from the Superstition
Mountains, a range of mountains that run just east of the Phoenix metropolitan
area. They are anchored by Superstition Mountain itself, a large mountain that
is a popular tourist and hiking spot. The Superstition Mountains are famous for
their central role in the legend of the Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine, as the mine
itself is said to be hidden somewhere in the Superstition Mountains. Nock Co.
has gone out of its way to name their cases after well-known Georgian land
features. With that in our minds we wanted to pay tribute not only to Arizona
but to them and we affectionately named our version of the case The
Superstition.
The special edition features the starting piece of this
project, the Karas Pen Co Arizona State flag notebook. But we went and added
some other touches of the Copper State. The Superstition has a custom Karas Pen
Co logo with the Arizona State flag stitched into it. It is lined and stitched
in blue that brings to mind the blue on the state flag. The pen included is a
custom Karas Kustoms EDK, with a copper lower barrel and red upper barrel. The
red is reminiscent of the red rays on the state flag. To top it off we are
adding our first foray into bead making with a nice copper lanyard bead that
can be used as a zipper pull.
The case is one of our personal favorites. It is designed to
hold three pens and two pocket sized notebooks or a stack of 3x5 notecards. It
can also be slightly expanded to hold two additional pens, though it’s not
specifically designed for that. I have also successfully carried my cell phone
in it. It’s a pretty versatile small case perfect for carrying around a few
pens and some paper.
Keep your eyes glued to our blog and Instagram accounts for
the official release date of the Karas Pen Co Superstition special edition.
This special edition is a limited run of 120 sets. Once these sets are sold we
will not be doing another run.
Awesome looking set. Can't wait to get my hands on one.
