Loves-nice-pens
Posted February 13, 2010
I usually don't treat myself to fine writing instruments. However, when one of my generous students gave me a B&N gift card, I realized that I would be thrilled to have this very handsome pen. It combines old world styling with modern precision manufacturing. It really does look and feel like some old heirloom passed down from some dear old relative. The wafer thin palisander barrel is thoughtfully built over a brass tube to give the pen decent strength. The twist action works perfectly every time. The exacting chrome gleams like the bumpers on a '56 Cadillac creating an exciting contrast to the warm wood on this hefty masterpiece. If you don't go for skinny, light froofy pens, this one's for you.

Overview
Combining the rich, lustrous sheen of genuine palisander wood with sparkling chrome accents, this pen has the look and feel of a handcrafted artifact. The luxurious feel and smooth writing action are hallmarks of Pierre Belvédère, purveyors of exceptional stationery products for nearly half a century.
