New Pen On Kickstarter
about 3 years ago – Mon, Jan 30, 2023 at 11:42:20 AM

Dear Backers,

We hope you are doing great. Many of you, have generously supported us through different projects. We are reaching out to show you our new UNO XL stainless steel pen for Pilot Hi-Tec-C refills. These refills are probably one of the most loved around the world because of their smooth writing experience, exceptional ink flow, and consistent line thickness. Our new pen features a retractable twisting cap that doubles as grip section. The pen was recently published in Uncrate magazine and received the "projects we love" badge by Kickstarter.

When preordering the pen on Kickstarter, you receive up to 55% discount on the future retail price. We hope you can join us in this new campaign.

Thank you!

New Kickstarter: Japanese Ebonite Fountain Pens
almost 4 years ago – Wed, Jun 08, 2022 at 09:12:47 AM

Dear Friends,

We are very excited to share with you our first pens made from the best Japanese ebonite. We just launched a Kickstarter campaign where you can get them at a 40% discount (early backer).

Why Ebonite?

Since 2015, we have been making metal pens in California. We have experimented with aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, stainless steel, and titanium. During the last year, we have been searching for the highest quality Ebonite. We are thrilled to have found the perfect one in Japan. It has a stunning matte black color with amazing mechanical properties. Ebonite has long been regarded as one of the best materials to make fountain pens. It is excellent for machining, has a beautiful appearance, and it is smooth to the touch. In addition, it absorbs heat rapidly so it warms in your hand while in use and creates a wonderful writing experience. Ebonite is a hard rubber obtained by vulcanizing natural rubber from gum trees with sulfur and linseed oil for prolonged periods.

Two Pen Sizes, Large #6 Nib, Eye Dropper

We are offering our standard-size PIUMA and our PIUMA Pocket fountain pen. Both pens come with a #6 nib made by Bock in Germany. We also designed both pens for eye dropping capabilities- threads are designed to prevent ink leakage and o-rings are in place to allow a perfect seal. These pens also accept standard international ink cartridges.
