Product Information
The Oaknook Brass and Wood Ballpoint Pen has a wood body with brass fittings and a metal cap. It is plain by design, heavier in the hand than it looks, and that weight is what makes it write steadily without being gripped tightly. A pen with visible material rather than a painted shell tends to be kept longer, largely because it improves with use rather than simply wearing.
The brass darkens slowly with handling rather than staying showroom bright, which is the point of using brass rather than a plated finish. Within a few months the pen looks used rather than new, and it keeps changing gradually for as long as you carry it. Brass and wood age at different rates, so the two elements gradually pull apart in tone, which is what gives an older pen of this kind its character.
Black ink and a standard refill, so it is repaired rather than replaced when the cartridge runs dry. Several wood profiles are available, and grain varies between individual pens, so no two are identical in figure or tone even within the same timber. The standard refill means it can be maintained indefinitely, and the fittings can be polished back to brightness if you would rather keep the brass light.

Brass that darkens with you
The brass darkens slowly with handling rather than staying showroom bright, which is the point of using brass over a plated finish. Brass and wood age at different rates, so the two gradually pull apart in tone, which is what gives an older pen its character.
Repaired, not replaced
Black ink and a standard refill means it is repaired rather than replaced when the cartridge runs dry, so it can be maintained indefinitely. Several wood profiles are available, and the grain varies between pens, so no two are identical.
