Magazine Description
In this issue
In this issue: U.S. accessories brand Franklin-Christoph celebrates 20 years with a new building and a new maki-e fountain pen, Birth of a Dragon. Meanwhile, Thailand’s Danitrio presents its own maki-e masterpiece, Hototugisu, crafted by urushi artist Masanori Omote. David Oscarson celebrates his roots—and the many branches of U.S. culture—with his Ellis Island collection of writing instruments. Two artisan pen brands, Hardy Penwrights and Desiderata Pen Co., combine master craftsmanship and personal passions. Plus: understanding the science behind gold alloy nibs, the new Presidential Pen, the history of Kaweco, and an intercontinental partnership. In addition: the 2021 Pen World Readers’ Choice Awards are getting inky!
