Description
This hexagonal shaped Vertex pen will make you feel like an engineer heading to the design office with a set of drawings.
I turned this elegant pen from a blank cut from the heartwood of a Brazilian Kingwood tree. Heartwood is a dark purplish or reddish brown with darker black streaks. Sapwood is a pale yellow. This wood provided a dark lustrous contrast against the polished deep chrome fittings. Its a perfect combination of refinement and industrial design.
Kingwood is considered a true rosewood in the Dalbergia genus, It is among the densest (and probably strongest) of all the rosewoods. There is very little mechanical data available on Kingwood, though given its weight, and its relation to other rosewoods, it’s likely to be extremely stiff, strong, and stable.
In terms of its history, Kingwood supposedly got its name from several French kings (Louis XIV and Louis XV) that preferred the wood in the use of fine furniture.
The Vertex pen has a super smooth, quiet click mechanism. The pen comes with a black ‘Parker’ type refill installed. Replacements can be obtained from most good stationers.
A velvet sleeve is supplied for everyday protection
