Dubbed Shannon, our fountain pen pays homage to Ireland's greatest flowing waterway. Flowing with ink, it easily transfers the writer's musings and genius from their mind to paper.

Resting on a writing desk, nestled in a notebook, or sitting proudly on a boardroom table, the design of this Shannon fountain pen, and the intricate woodwork used in its creation, make it a truly unique gift. Its user is sure to be impressed, and those who see it in use will take notice. Every time the pen is picked up and the ink begins to flow, the recipient will be reminded of the special gift they received.

This pen is made from black walnut trees that grow in Ireland, even though it's not a native tree to the area. The tree thrives in the Irish climate, and its lush bark has a chocolate-like coloring and a soft grain that is highly sought-after by furniture makers for their most exciting projects. It's also perfect for hand-turning a luxurious writing pen that will impress anyone who holds it.

The Shannon fountain pen is fitted with a German-manufactured bi-colour size six 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, readily available from all stationery shops worldwide. Available on this site also.

We also provide an ink pump with the pen; this pump allows bottled ink to be used in pen, fill the pump with your favourite 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; 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 cards and placed in a biodegradable mailer bag; it's our way of greening what we do and minimising our environmental impact.

At a time when individuality is becoming increasingly rare, we can engrave the pen for you.

• Luxurious complimentary pen gift box
• Detail card on the wood used in the pen
