## Description

Primary Wood: Bethlehem Olivewood Throughout Israel there are olive groves that have grown for over 2,000 years. These trees saw Rome come to the area, and eventually fall. They saw much of Biblical history unfold, and they still stand today to bear witness to the trials faced by the region. These trees are highly protected; those who maintain them gather branch trimmings and deadfall and make them available to tourists and woodworkers. Inlay: Bog Oak At the end of the last ice age, rising water levels caused huge oak forests throughout England, Ireland, and other parts of Europe to die standing and fall into the muck. For the last 3,000 - 5,000 years these trees have been preserved in anaerobic conditions underneath peat bogs. Their age has changed their color to a deep black with rich brown grain.

Review: A very dependable, comfortable pen with style. - I bought my pen two years ago and have held off writing a review until I could do so with experience and not just based on first impression. This pen is solid. It arrived quickly and was packaged in a sturdy elongated triangular box with a printed description of the woods used in its making. Visually it is quite attractive in its simplicity, the wood is well finished without being overly polished and the metal appliances are well matched to the wood and add to the visuals. The pen has a solid heft which feels comfortable in the hand and allows it to be comfortable over a long period of writing. The mechanics of the pen are well machined, it disassembles and assembles easily for cleaning. I have used both cartridge inserts and the refillable piston cylinder, which it comes with, with equal ease. The pen writes smoothly, effectively and with a clean flow of ink through the nib. No mess, no fuss and no blots. After two years of daily use I have not had a bad moment with this pen and I would not hesitate to buy another.
Review: A really unique, beautiful pen but... - Very attractive pen. Too small for me so I have given it to my wife. She likes it but feels the nib is too broad would like an extra fine. The nib is very smooth however and the pen is beautiful. I just wish I could get other nibs. Addendum: Since writing this review I've discovered that the small #5 Knox nibs from Xfountainpens.com fit the section and feed perfectly. I was able to get an extra-fine nib that, while not as smooth as the one that came in the pen, was very acceptable replacement. It was smooth, and easy replacement and very affordable (about $7-8). Hope this helps.

### ⭐ Looks are deceiving
*by J***M on February 8, 2020*

Beautiful pen and craftsmanship. I recently change the cartridge with no writing success. I tried several different cartridges with the same results. I have a cheap $10 fountain pen, which I have no problems with cartridge change.
