Blackwood and discount Stainless Steel Pen

African Blackwood pen with knurled stainless steel grip. Makes a great gift or discount everyday writer.

The blackwood used is very dark and dense. Up close, you can make out the grain figure, but from a distance, it appears nearly black - except for the blonde spot at the top. That accent lends some lightness and breaks up the heaviness of the blackwood. The stainless steel components give the pen a real heft when writing.

The finish is a friction polish with an oil and shellac mixture that leaves the pen glossy without becoming too plastic-y.

This is a click mechanism, black ink, ballpoint type pen.
