THE ESSENCE OF WRITING
Mysterious inner beauty and utmost practicality may have been the reason for the Samurai to cover their sword handles with stingray leather. Each and every detail of these masterly weapons expresses the desire to liberate the spirit from any deliberate effort.
“To wield a sword, ride a horse, write – do it in such a manner as if you were not wielding a sword, not riding a horse, not writing. Then you accomplish everything without resistance, yet with spirit and ease”, the legendary Samurai Yagyu Munenori said. The stingray fountain pen is perfectly suited for discovering that sense of ease.

Graf Von Faber Castell Pen Of The Year 2010 Wood Of Walnut
2.800,00€A secret art of original aesthetics
Looking at the 2010 Special Edition, you are fascinated by the interplay of delicate engravings and elegant marbled steel parts.Until the end of the 19th century, the marbling of steel was a sign of the high quality of a weapon, given the inimitable shine it provided. For centuries, this process was passed on by word of mouth and kept a jealous secret.
Metal surfaces were steeled by using charred leather, generating shifting color hues when cooled. To date, it has been found that up to 20 parameters converge to generate this surprising visual effect, among which are the thickness of the metal, the temperature and the cooling speed.
Shifting color hues
Extensive experience in craft work can influence results, but never accurately anticipate them. Thus, no two marbled metals are completely alike.The metal surface is perfected according to an elaborate engraving process framed with 24-karat gold inlays. Today very few workshops can combine these traditional arts with the mastery required by the 2010 Special Edition.
Before tempering the steel, the pen of the year is engraved through a traditional process. The engraver hand chisels the dovetail guide into which the gold inlay is inserted for subsequent polishing. A final result that requires great skills and precision for perfection

Graf Von Faber Castell Pen Of The Year 2009 horsehair fountain pen
2.800,00€An almost forgotten art
Making the highest quality horse hair weaving is an art that only a few master weavers have learned to master.
Few experts in Germany enjoy the status of Dorit Berger. “I always wanted to learn to spin. There is something magical about it. And the fascination has never left me ”. After thoroughly training as a master weaver, she discovered for herself the uniqueness of a material such as horse hair weft.Horse hair texture is quite a challenge. The hairs on the tail are relatively short and stiff and cannot be spun in a continuous skein. They can’t actually be braided in a conventional way.
To create the filigree design of the 2009 Special Edition, the hairs must be carefully selected for uniform color and thickness. It takes 70 individually woven hairs to get one centimeter of weft. It is an extraordinarily laborious task that goes hair by hair creating a braiding with a changing texture, light and dark, in surprising contrast to the warmth of the platinum-plated metal parts. As the nuances vary depending on the position of the piece, each horse fur fountain pen becomes a unique work of art.

Pelikan M800 Souverän Fountain pen Blue-Black
A true classic
In 1929 Pelikan was the first company in the world to introduce the differential piston mechanism. This technique makes the shaft inside the fountain pen rotate faster than the tip or filling sleeve, thanks to two differential threads. To this day, this fountain pen is available in many different versions, and although its design and technical details have improved over time, the basic mechanism remains the same.
In 1950 the model 400 was launched. With its green striped body, it has become the global symbol of the Pelikan brand. During the 80s, the series was baptized with the name Souverän, although popularly it has also been called “Stresemann” because it was reminiscent of the secretary of state of the “Weimar Republic”, famous for his striped suits … Souverän with black and blue striped vitola were added to the product range in 1995.
Making the vitola is a painstaking task, as the cotton material – its formula was developed especially for Pelikan – must undergo many manufacturing processes to create this piece of striped material. It is bent and smooth, and its contours are diamond cut. The characteristic double rings on the back of the body and lid are then integrated into the material. This is done with the utmost precision to obtain a virtually seamless transition between materials. The instrument is then polished to a high shine before mounting the clip with a light spring and the famous stylized pelican shape.
If you like the classics, you will own a Souverän writing instrument
