5 out of 5 starsI never thought I'd be so excited about a pen. But it made a fantastic gift. My girlfriend is a writer, and it was great finding a pen that inspires excitement and creativity. Also, good for you for not advertising as "Great Father's Day gift, would make a great gift for future businessman, etc." Part of the reason I chose your store!

5 out of 5 starsThis pen is absolutely gorgeous! I got it for my husband for our 33rd Anniversary which is an “amethyst” year. He loves it! Sharon was absolutely lovely in our conversations and got this shipped out to me right away. I highly recommend her and her shop.
About
The Agan Pen story...
Here you'll find several of our hobbies that kind of went crazy (thus the name OCD hobbiest!). For your viewing pleasure, I have some great jewelry making lapidary slabs (this really needs no explanation), as well as our handcrafted fine writing instruments.
I began making fine hand crafted writing instruments in 1995, and thus began Agan Pen Company. I discovered the fun of creating functional art that would last for many years and be something that one could use and enjoy daily. After learning the art on easily available, exotic woods with inexpensive parts, I quickly realized that there were too many folks making the same type pens that I was, so I decided to kick it up a couple of levels.
I found that many pen makers made their pens with a noticeable “bump” where the wood joins the metal parts – I called those “speed bumps” because they were just jarring when you were enjoying the feel of the wood, and then you hit the speed bump! So the “upgrades” to my craft came early on. First was to learn to be so precise that there is no difference in the diameter of the wood from the metal parts. This gives the smooth continuous feel that you’d expect when you pick up the pen.
Speaking of the way they feel, they are so smooth, they feel almost like glass! Next, I realized that the inexpensive parts can have finish problems – the gold finish would actually wear off with the acidity of people’s hands (when you see "24k gold" in the description of some pens, you'll know that eventually you'll likely see some wearing of the gold plating depending on your body chemistry). So, I went looking for some better hardware. I found the style I liked – the classic, never goes out of style, look that you’ll love – but made from a virtually indestructible titanium gold finish that is billed as lifetime by the folks we get our parts from. Next – the finish - I now have a finish process for the wood that will resist acidity as well as the finish on the parts – you now have a pen that will be as beautiful for many years as the day you bought it!
