This one is so nice, and so unique! The pen is all black with “splashes” of silver mingled into the black resin. I used sleek black Brazilian Ebony wood for the “handle” of the pen. The silver that the maker used for the resin is amazing! It is so iridescent and mesmerizing. As you tilt and turn the pen in the light, the silver seems to come alive, and it changes magically. Really a gorgeous and super-interesting pen to see! I’ve not seen another pen like this…have you! It can be yours today! Will be a nice little custom pen to show to your guild members, or perhaps something special to bring to the upcoming Iampeth convention.
This is a straight holder, not an oblique. Straight holders are great in so many ways…they are so versatile! They can readily handle straight pen duties, and broad-edge duties with ease. (Not the case with an oblique holder). I use straight holders primarily for my broad-edge calligraphy, but honestly, I’ve been experimenting with them, using a pointed flexible nib…and I really like it! I find them easy wield when writing copperplate styles, and this super light weight REALLY makes them fun! It gives a new “sense of freedom” in my penmanship.
Every calligrapher should have at least one decent straight pen holder in his/her arsenal, and this one would be a great choice!!!
Unique Oblique Custom Pens are meticulously handmade writing instruments. They are finely crafted, pro-caliber calligraphy pens. This pen will easily and happily handle the rigors of the professional calligrapher. As with all of my handmade calligraphy pens, this one is coated with my super hardshell clear coat (12 coats on this pen). This finish is crystal clear, super hard, will never become sticky or gummy, and is almost impossible to stain. If ink or gouache dries on this finish, you can wipe it off with a damp rag, or for stubborn cases, you can literally scrape it off with your fingernail.
This pen will ship to you in a premium presentation/storage case.
