To celebrate the entrance to the 21st. century the Platinum Pen Company issued a Limited Edition of just 300 unique ebonite and urushi pens. The pens were made in Aizu Provence, a region famous for hand made carved wood & urushi work. The Aizu Provence urushi work includes oil free urushi that gets it luster from extended burnishing with carbon powder; each session with a finer grade of powder until a deep luster is achieved.

The pen started as a cylinder of ebonite that was then planned into a ten sided tapered shape. Next each face was carved in a chevron pattern and the edges radiused. Finally heavily 24K plated furniture was added and the 18K nibs tuned.

Here is #115 of 300.
