Choosing the right product is a daunting task, our wooden fountain pens are all made out of unique and beautiful material, and it can sometimes be overwhelming finding the right one for you. In this blog post, I would like to tell you some more about every fountain pen, why they are awesome, and what makes them stand out compared to the other ones. But first shortly something about (wooden) fountain pens in general and why they are awesome to have and write with. A fountain pen is a beautiful writing instrument that expresses a form of class and luxury. Just looking at a good stylographic pen can make you smile! Another positive about a fountain pen is that you can write effortlessly for hours with it to express your thoughts while using your favorite ink. Lastly, a fountain pen is more ecological than a ballpoint pen. Many ballpoint pens are part of our throwaway culture and will be disposed of when the pen is empty. A proper ink pen uses an ink converter which can be filled time after time. If you want to learn more about fountain pens and how to use them properly, our friends from Fountainpenlove wrote an excellent article.
Our fountain pens are handmade out of wood originating all over the world. This to guarantee that each pen is unique and has stunning colors and figures that will make you smile while using it. For every pen, we use sustainable wood that comes from naturally fallen trees or sick trees. By doing so, we limit our environmental impact, and often this also guarantees the wood has these special textures and figures.
Because of this, some of our pens are also limited editions because no piece of wood is the same, and it is difficult to find a similar piece of the same quality. For the non-wooden parts, we are working together with an Australian supplier, which makes, in our opinion, the best pen kits! The pen is equipped with a lovely German iridium medium-sized nib to guarantee a great writing experience.
Throughout the years, we have had the joy to work with different pen gurus who were generous enough to write an in-depth review of their experience writing and using our wooden fountain pens. If you want to check these out: Penmeester and Pennen2020 have written their honest opinion regarding different wooden ink pens and give you all the details, you want to know.
