This slimmed down version of our popular Majestic Pen has all of the features and qualities of the original Majestic Pen line but in a sleeker and more slender design. Ideal for those who want a smaller but truly elegant writing instrument. Pens feature the ability "post" the cap onto the pen body for writing and storage convenience.
Fountain Pen includes many remarkable features including: Pen clip includes a sparkling Swarovski clear crystal; All exposed accent rings, bands and caps include elegant custom hand-carved 3 dimensional designs. Superb writing with the Iridium point pen nib. The finished project is complimented with superb balance, superior writing characteristics and an overall stylish, polished & elegant appearance.
Includes a pump and cartridge. Fordite, also known as Motor Agate, is a unique automotive enamel material with an interesting history. The original layered automotive paint slag "rough" was made incidentally, years ago, by the now extinct practice of hand spray-painting multiples of production cars in big automotive factories. The oversprayed paint in the painting bays gradually built up on the tracks and skids that the car frames were painted on.
Over time, many colorful layers built up there. These layers were hardened repeatedly in the ovens that the car bodies went into to cure the paint. As a world-renowned artisan, I was able to form this fine writing instrument through a painstaking process that involved several hours and stages in order to present a finely polished work of art. The blanks were measured and drilled before inserting brass tubes.
They were then trued on each end before being placed on my Rikon midi-lathe for the shaping using various chisels. When the desired shape was achieved, I then took them through a multi-stage sanding process finishing with nine steps of micro-mesh, followed by a three step polishing with White Diamond finished off with Carnauba wax resulting in a glass like finish. This fine writing instrument is destined to provide years of pleasure for the discriminating user. Its unique, one-of-a-kind design will speak volumes to your individuality, knowing that you are carrying the pride of handmade craftsmanship that is often lacking in a world of duplicity. Fountain pen pump and cartridge. My sincere thanks and appreciation.
