our Shannon fountain pen is named after the largest river in Ireland, this fountain pen will impress any connoisseur of fountain pen writing. The pen, like a river of ink, carries the thoughts and creativity of its user from their consciousness to paper effortlessly.
Resting on a writing desk, nestled in a notebook or sitting staunchly on a writing pad on a meeting or board room table this Shannon fountain pens design and the detail in the wood we used make it unique, a gift that will impress its user and will be noticed by those who see it in use. The gift you gave will be remembered every time this fountain pen is held and its ink flows.
We have crafted the pen using bog oak older than the Pyramids, this pen is more than 5,000 years in the making! We do not rush things in Ireland! The beauty of Bog Oak is in its feel and colour, so to ensure we don’t mask that experience we finish our pens in special oils that Bog Oak sculptors use to capture the essence of every minute of the 5,000 years of history in this pen.
The Shannon fountain pen is fitted with a German manufactured bi-colour size 6 nib, this ensures a smooth writing experience even for the fussiest of fountain pen users.
The fountain pen ink flows from an international standard-sized ink cartridge, easily available from all stationery shops around the world. Available on this site also.
We also provide an ink pump with the pen, this pump allows bottled ink to be used in the pen, simply fill the pump with your favorite bottled ink and insert it into the pen and you’re ready to write.
Sustainability is high on everyone’s agenda, by 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 landfill every year.
Give one of our fountain pens with our ink pump and the only thing you don't use is the empty glass ink bottle that is recycled, how green is that!
We post our pens in our recyclable pen gift box wrapped in corrugated card and place in a biodegradable mailer bag, it's our way of greening what we do and minimising our impact on the environment.
