From the calm, soothing enameled finish to the virgin cardboard used in the FedEx packaging, everything about this pen exudes quality.

The first time I grasped this pen I felt a deep connection to something greater than myself, transcending space and time.



Was it the pure elemental energy of the rhodium tip? The ancient life force of the majestic oak from which the charcoal was made? Or the perfect synergy of both the raw materials and the Qi of the master craftsmen who forged this instrument, willing a work of art into existence?



As I wrote the check to the payday loan office, it was not from me that the words "do not cash until" flowed, but rather THROUGH me, as if I were channeling Ernest Hemingway himself.
