The fountain pen world is full of wonderful materials and perhaps one of the most interesting and beautiful ones is the Primary Manipulation 4 resin made in the US by Jonathon Brooks. This material brings joy with a dynamic swirl of primary colors mixed with a pearlescent effect. The resin is also lightweight and warms up with the touch. All these qualities make pens made of this handcrafted resin a very special one.
A few days ago, California-based pen company, ēnsso, introduced an edition of 90 fountain pens using this material. The design selected was their PIUMA- a refined cigar-shaped fountain pen without any trims or decorations. It is the perfect shape for the resin to shine. All pens come equipped with a large #6 14K solid gold nib made by Peter Bock in Germany. The pen accepts ink cartridges and comes with a Schmidt ink converter for bottled ink. A new feature of the design is the inclusion of an o-ring that allows it to be eye-dropped.
The pens are ready to ship for the Holidays and are exclusively available for $295 at ensso.com. During this season, ēnsso is offering a 20% discount on all orders by using code HOLIDAYS2022 at checkout.
My thanks to ēnsso for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
