{"product_id":"brass-and-wood-ballpoint-pen","title":"Brass and Wood Ballpoint Pen","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood body with brass fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack ink, standard refill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass patinates with handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeveral wood profiles available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrain varies between pens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Oaknook","offers":[{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":46463427706950,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chocolate","offer_id":46463427739718,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rosewood","offer_id":46463427772486,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebony","offer_id":46464061046854,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/0969\/5558\/files\/hf_20260829_173156_a4dcce7d-c23b-4b40-b0c4-b8b1276208b2.png?v=1788025028","url":"https:\/\/oaknook.ca\/products\/brass-and-wood-ballpoint-pen","provider":"Oaknook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
