It is machined to hold a Pilot gel cartridge. Bent spring steel covers the tip when the pen is closed; you flip the pen around to snap the tip into writing position. One customer quote on CW&T's page compares it to a flat carpenter's pencil. ## CW&T Pen Type-C specs | Spec | Value | |---|---| | Maker | CW&T (NYC studio) | | Size | 108 × 15 mm, 3.5 mm thick | | Weight | 18 g titanium, 12.8 g Ultra, 28 g brass, 30 g copper | | Material | Grade 5 titanium, glass bead blast finish; brass and copper also sold | | Clip | Detachable stainless steel clip, flathead screws | | Refill | Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto cartridge | | Made in | United States (per CW&T's Type-B page; the Type-C page lists none) | ![CW&T Pen Type-C as a flat bar above the round Type-A and Type-B pen and sleeve, all drawn to scale](https://stationerytimes.com/images/cwandt-pens-sizes.svg?v=bc06e28e) *The Type-C beside the round Type-A and Type-B pen and sleeve, at 1 mm = 3.6 px. Original illustration made for this guide. © Stationery Times.* ## Which refill does the Pen Type-C use? **CW&T says it is designed to fit the Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto ink cartridge.** CW&T adds that the cartridge comes in 15 colors and multiple thicknesses and is built for click pens, so it is meant to sit exposed to air without drying or leaking. To change one, you snap the old cartridge out with a new one, then press the new cartridge's tip into place. CW&T's page doesn't say which cartridge ships in the pen. Our [Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto guide](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/pilot-hi-tec-c-coleto/) lists the gel refill colors and tip sizes Pilot sells for that system, and the [Hi-Tec-C guide](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/pilot-hi-tec-c/) covers the needle-tip pen it grew out of. ## What is it made of, and how much does it weigh? **Grade 5 titanium with a glass bead blast finish is the standard build, at 18 g.** CW&T also sells brass (28 g) and copper (30 g) versions. The Ultra, a limited edition made with gnuhr, has hollowed-out pockets and weighs 12.8 g. CW&T says it machines its products from high-quality materials with longevity in mind. The coated versions use PVD or Cerakote finishes. For Type-B, CW&T says Cerakote wears over time to show the titanium underneath; it makes no such statement on the Type-C page. ## Can you take the Type-C clip off? **Yes, a detachable stainless steel clip held on with screws.** CW&T says you can anchor it to a book, pocket or shirt, or take the screws and clip off with a flathead screwdriver. The clip is what makes the pen a notebook bookmark pen instead of a loose bar in a pocket. ## Is the Type-C comfortable to write with? **CW&T says it is flat and wide enough not to feel tiny in the hand.** That claim comes from a customer quote on its own product page, so treat it as the maker's selection rather than our finding. We haven't written with one. At 15 mm wide and 3.5 mm thick it is a very different grip from a round pen; compare it with the 9.8 mm round [Pen Type-A](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/cwandt-pen-type-a/). ## What finishes does it come in? **CW&T lists 22 variants, from plain titanium to printed patterns and limited drops.** The plain grade 5 titanium, black PVD, blue PVD, orange Cerakote and white Cerakote versions are the standard finishes; brass and copper are the other metals. The rest are patterned or ombré editions such as Splatter, Heatmap and Composition notebook camo, plus the Ultra. Many were sold out when we looked on October 31, 2026, so stock changes. ## What does the Pen Type-C sell for? **The plain titanium Type-C sits in our $$$ band ($20–75): CW&T listed it at US$60 on October 31, 2026.** Coated titanium listed at US$65 to US$70, most patterned versions at US$80, and the Ultra at US$89. A cartridge costs far less than the pen.

CW&T lists it at 108 × 15 mm and says it is 3.5 mm thin. That flat shape is what lets it sit in a notebook as a bookmark. ### How much does the Pen Type-C weigh? CW&T lists 18 g in grade 5 titanium, 12.8 g for the Ultra titanium version, 28 g in brass and 30 g in copper. ### What refill does the Pen Type-C use? CW&T says it is designed to fit the Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto ink cartridge, sold in 15 colors and several thicknesses. You snap the old cartridge out with a new one and press the new tip into place. ### Does the Pen Type-C have a clip? Yes. CW&T says it comes with a detachable, durable stainless steel clip held on by screws, and that you can remove the clip and screws with a flathead screwdriver to go clipless. ### Is the Pen Type-C made in the USA? The Type-C page gives no origin. CW&T's Type-B page says all its pens are made at a machine shop in Vermont, so we read that as covering the Type-C too, but the Type-C page itself does not say so. ### How much does the Pen Type-C cost? On October 31, 2026 CW&T listed plain grade 5 titanium at US$60 and coated titanium at US$65 to US$70. Brass, copper and patterned versions cost more, and the limited Ultra listed at US$89. ### How is the Pen Type-C different from the Type-A and Type-B? It is flat and 3.5 mm thin with no sleeve and a detachable clip, while the Type-A and Type-B are round 9.8 mm pens that slide into a sleeve. CW&T calls the Type-C their kid sibling. ## Sources - [CW&T: Pen Type-C (108 × 15 mm, 3.5 mm thin, grade 5 titanium, brass and copper weights, Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto cartridge, detachable clip, variants and prices; read October 31, 2026)](https://cwandt.com/products/pen-type-c) - [CW&T: Pen Type-B (all CW&T pens made at a machine shop in Vermont; read October 31, 2026)](https://cwandt.com/products/pen-type-b) - [CW&T: Best Sellers collection (Pen Type-A, Type-B and Type-C listed; read October 31, 2026)](https://cwandt.com/collections/best-sellers)
