A special edition, precision-engineered Lumos in stainless steel.

I’ve crafted approximately 4,000 pens by hand on my marvellous 1960s Myford Super 7 engineering lathe, and the phrase "they don’t make 'em like they used to" certainly rings true for this special bit of machinery.

About the Lumos Stainless Steel

The stainless steel Lumos embodies the same philosophy of creating something to last a lifetime. It pays homage to time-honoured techniques and machinery with its unique diagonally knurled cap, smooth and precise body finish, incredibly hard-to-machine triple start threads (which mean the cap unscrews three times as fast), and, of course, being made from the most enduring of materials, stainless steel.

I’m sure my Lumos and lathe will be hanging out together for generations to come, reminiscing about the good old days.

Note: As it is made from stainless steel, you’ll notice that this special edition Lumos has a reassuring weight in the hand – a feature many of our customers love. Please be aware that this pen weighs more than it's standard Lumos counterparts, offering a unique and satisfying writing experience.

      Full FAQs and a video guide to getting started with your Lumos can be found here.

      How many lids does the Lumos Duo come with?

      The Lumos Duo is designed so that one half of the pen acts as the lid for the other. The lid covers one tip, while the other should be screwed into the middle of the pen for storage. This keeps things compact, balanced, and secure – no juggling extra lids.

      Prefer both ends capped? You can add a second lid to your pen here.

      What ink can I use?

      The Lumos is compatible with dye-based Fountain Pen Inks, so long as they don’t contain particles (such as shimmer inks) or binders (like acrylic or shellac).

      Exception to the rule? We sell a splendid waterproof pigment ink: No.60 Pigment Black.

      Can I purchase replacement tips and reservoirs for my Lumos?

      Yes! Everything you need for your Lumos is listed below:

      The weight of words

      Have been mesmerised by this since I received it today. It's truly a work of art that's a pleasure to use.

      I own a regular lumos which I enjoy using but have wished would be a little more substantial to hold. This pen addresses that.

      Do yourself a favour and also get some writing nibs. I didn't realise these existed until I ordered this and they are just superb.

      JUST WOW!

      I really love all 3! Thanks for giving the possibility to order the stainless steel again :)

      One Pen To Rule Them All

      I’ve had my fair share of “premium” pens. I had been looking at Tom’s Studio for some time, but wasn’t sure how a non-traditional pen would fit in my flow / daily use. I was drawn in by the limited edition stainless steel and the story of how it was made. Felt the mini might be too small but took a chance. I’m super glad I did! I was on the fence after ordering whether I should have bought the brass but this one exudes super high quality all around! The finish is something special including the weight, cap, the whole shebang! The accessories were all top notch and with cap on, the ink remained viable just like a normal pen! The tips were all great and customer service is awesome! Had a small issue with some items missing and they took care of it right away!! Take a chance with Tom’s! Product feels like it’ll last a lifetime!

      I adore this pen - I have used it often -

      Right after receiving this pen I got it set up and have been using it next to my brass Lumos - I adore what I can do with this duo!

      Love it!

      I love my Lumos steel! It is so beautiful in this color and i wont have to worry about scratching the finish at all. The weight is a bit heavy but since I like to use both sides independatly it does not bother me. Highly recommend!

      I have used it for my zentangle doodles and also got it engraved with a motivational text.

      My favorite pen

      I started with the matte black, then the brass, and then the stainless. They all have a different feeling in the hand, but the performance is consistently delightful. I had a moment of panic is trying to re-ink once, so I had to refer to the video to remind me which bit turns in which direction, but no further issues. I can't say enough positive about these pens. They are brilliant. I use De Atramentis document ink and/or Rohrer & Klingner as I sometimes do a wash after sketching and have had no issues. They seem to last and last and last. I smile every time I twist off the cap. I may have to try out a field mouse as I like the idea of a secured cap when out and about. Thank you for providing a solution to the throwaway pen. Bravo!!

      I have always liked writing with fineliner pens but was never satisfied with the cheap disposable options. This changes that! Size and weight of the pen is great for me. I love being able to customize the pen with multiple tips and even the color of the ink!

      So smooth

      The pen was longer and heavier than i thought, but beautiful, handles so well and writes so, so smooth.

      A joy to use

      A beautifully crafted pen which is a joy to use. Also really good that it is refillable with a variety of colourful inks too.

      Really nice pen.

      Like the aluminium lumos, just really heavy, in a nice way, have not expected that. Sadly it has a small gap between cap and body because of the o-ring being thicker or being not recessed deep enough, like in my old aluminium lumos, which closes seamlessly.

      I bought this for my husband…

      He LOVES it! In fact, he found himself drawing with it this morning, and he isn’t one to draw. Aesthetically, it is a stunning piece! It is a well-balanced tool, that I believe will last a lifetime!

      More like an ordinary felt tip pen

      To be honest I was immediately disappointed by the Lumos. Not by the manufacturing - it looks mostly the part in smart stainless steel, except for the hole at one end where, in my opinion there should be a second end cap (I know you can order a additional one but its like EUR15 to send one here to the Netherlands).
      No, the big disappointment was when I started to write with the provided nibs. They really are incredibly coarse and scratchy, and frankly are not even as nice to use as some of my cheap felt tips. Neither does the ink flow down sufficiently well to provide a nice crisp and solid script on regular paper - it comes out thinly and in one ink I used, see-through. Disappointing and sadly not a pen I will go-to.

      Lumos Stainless Steel

      It's a very nice writing tool - good idea to have two lumos in one. As well as the looking aspect it's good balanced and not tiring!

      Beautiful, well crafted but… so heavy

      I want to love this so much. It feels great to hold and it looks amazing. The tips are the same so nothing more to add about either those or the inks. I know stainless steel is heavier than aluminum (or aluminium for the oversea readers) but I had hoped the pen would have had a clever way to balance out the additional heft. As it is, the weight is almost evenly distributed along the full length of the pen which puts the balance point around middle, which means it feels very heavy in hand while writing. Screwing the cap in the end just makes it worse.

      Beautiful pen

      This is my fifth pen from Tom's Studio. I love the interchangeable tips available with the lumos, but the stainless steel mini is a little gem...so pretty its almost jewellery and writes like a dream!

      Best Pen

      I already own the classic Lumos, but the new stainless steel version truly impresses me on a whole new level. It feels premium and elegant, and its weight gives it a solid, well-balanced presence in the hand. I also feel the rubber rings make a real difference — the pen doesn’t dry out as quickly, something I experienced more often with the standard version. As a hobby artist, this pen is an outstanding tool for me — stylish, reliable, and a genuine source of creative inspiration.

      Fantastic Pen!

      This is a beautiful pen both in aesthetics and function. The fit and finish of the pen if flawless and the stainless steel feels great in the hand, just weighty enough to be comfortable and it is easy to grip. The weighting performance is on par with all the pens I have used from Tom’s studio, smooth and excellent ink flow. I shall enjoy using this pen for many years!
