SHORTCAP fountain pen, unique piece made of kingwood & brass, handmade
One-off
SHORTCAP, noble handmade wooden filler. Kingwood and solid brass. All parts of the fountain pen are made of solid brass. Also the embedded mechanism with the three-speed thread, which ensures that the cap can be put on with a positive fit with just one turn. The combination of always lukewarm wood and classically modern brass results in an extraordinary haptic experience.
Elegant and noble - with a special eye-catcher. The SHORTCAP fountain pen shows what it has. The shorter flap reveals the ribbed grip zone and gives a clear view of the precise, handcrafted design of this high-quality writing instrument. The smooth longitudinal structure of the SHORTCAP is optically loosened up by looking at the vertical handle structure. The 0.5 mm deep furrows are cut into the material using a special knurling cutter and ensure safe spring guidance.
Geometrically clear and at the same time emotional, the SHORTCAP fountain pen looks particularly good in the office or in the negotiation room.
The nibs are considered the heart of a fountain pen. The nibs exclusively embossed with the ELBWOOD logo are made by JoWo Berliner Schreibfeder GmbH - one of the world's most renowned manufacturers of this rare art. The nib used in this unique piece consists of 18 carat / 750 yellow gold and is available in four nib strengths and nib widths: The SHORTCAP fountain pen can be filled with the supplied converter as well as with standard ink cartridges. Length: 14.5cm / diameter: 12.5mm / weight: approx. 53g The brass will change over time and with use. It tarnishes and develops the patina so popular with connoisseurs. If you don't like this, you can polish it up again at any time. Wood is a natural material that "works". Despite years of pre-storage, small hairline cracks can occur if temperatures or air pressure conditions change significantly. However, this is not a reason for complaint - I consciously choose materials with "stubbornness".
This fountain pen only gets more beautiful with age.
