No. It writes the moment the nib touches the paper, with a light hand and no pressing. It fills with the included converter from any bottle of ink, and it also takes standard international cartridges if he prefers not to use a bottle.

Every barrel is cut from a stabilized Vermont sugar maple burl on a manual lathe, so the grain on each pen is its own. The steel nib is rhodium-plated and tuned by hand before it ships, and each pen carries its number under the cap band.

Yes. If the pen is not what you expected, or it is not the gift you hoped it would be, send it back within 30 days for a full refund.

Profile

My wife gave me pen number 047 for my birthday. I turned it over, saw the number under the band, and did not say anything for a full minute. I write with it every morning now.

First Letter
Gary P., 69 Verified Owner
For thirty years I signed everything with whatever free pen was in the drawer. Now I actually look forward to writing a note. It feels like the pen I had at my first job.

My father has everything. He opened this on Christmas morning, held it up to the window to look at the grain, and kept it in his shirt pocket the rest of the day.

I threw out a drawer full of cheap pens. This one sits on my desk and gets used every day. The wood has already darkened a little where my fingers rest.
