In 1860 carbon fibre was used in the early incandescent light bulb by Sir Joseph Wilson Swan; using a baking process called "pyrolysis", he turned cotton or bamboo at very high temperatures into carbon to make the filament of light bulbs. When tungsten became the light bulb filament of choice in the early 1900s, carbon fiber was rendered obsolete for the next 50 years or so.
In 1958 the first petroleum-based carbon fiber’s were accidentally produced; in the ’60s, Rolls Royce was using carbon fiber in their jet engines.
Since the late 1970s, improved manufacturing processes have aided in reduced production costs and improved strength and elasticity; this led engineers in the 1990s and 2000s to finally fully understand the vast potential of carbon fiber in various manufacturing applications, making it a favourite design choice today. So while not as old as the fountain pen its self is not as modern as you may have thought!

As a personal, corporate or club gift, no other pen in the world is exactly like yours!

Sustainability is high on everyone’s agenda; using one of our handmade pens and only replacing the refill, you help the environment by not contributing to the BILLIONS of plastic biros that go to landfills every year.
