Michael's Fat Boy pens were created out of one simple desire: Comfort when writing. Michael wanted to provide the world with writing tools that had an ergonomic grip, which would enhance comfort. So he diligently crafted two designs that earned him two U.S. Patents. He quickly marketed his classic spiral barrel as “The Worm” and this unique model was responsible for sales all around the world including Japan, Taiwan, and large portions of Europe.

One of the premiere elements of Michael's Fat Boy Pens is that they are constructed 100% in the United States using aircraft quality billet aluminum. It is this unique material that creates the comfort that has become associated with Michael's pens. Take the Michael's Fat Boy Comet pen for example: The large cylindrical shape, combined with the aluminum barrel and rubber grip, allow the writer's fingertips to rest upon the body of the pen in a manner that promotes satisfaction while writing. The same can be said about the more traditional Michael's Fat Boy New York pens.
