  • The wood in your pen:

Walnut is sought after for its outstanding beauty and toughness. This Irish wood is a luscious milk chocolate-like colour, finishes smoothly, and will be a talking point whenever the pen is used in public.
Your pen’s wood grain and colour are as individual as your fingerprints.

 

  • The trim of your pen:
The trim is bright gold with chrome accents, complementing the Irish Walnut's beautiful golden hues.

  • How to fill the pen with ink

To insert the ink cartridge, unscrew the nib section from the pen and push the ink cartridge into the section until you feel it click into place. A gentle squeeze of the cartridge may be required to get the ink flowing for the first time.

If using the ink pump, fit it to the pen in the same way as the cartridge and twist the plunger to expel all the air from the reservoir, place the nib below the ink level in the ink bottle and twist the pump to draw up ink from the bottle, dry off any external ink, you can now reassemble the pen and you are ready to start writing. Use gloves for this process to protect your hands from the ink, and use tissue to protect the area from spills. Don't put the cap back on the bottle!

 

Keep the cap on the fountain pen when not in use to prevent the ink in the nib from drying out. As with all fountain pens, you can flush the nib and feed to clean them if you notice a change in the flow of ink over time. See our website for a video on how to do this. 

 


 

At Irish Pens, we are delighted to pay homage to the woods at the heart of our handmade pen by sponsoring the planting of Native Irish Trees in the forest of Avoca, Co. Wicklow, Ireland, through the Tree Council of Ireland's tree sponsorship scheme. A proportion of the sale of your pen has made this possible.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the next best time is now.

    Each pen is housed in a satin-lined luxury case and sheathed in a plush black velvet pouch, offering a refined unboxing experience worthy of its heritage.


Over 4 billion plastic pens and their packaging go to landfills in the USA alone every year, so when the refill is empty, change it and keep using your pen. It's all the small things we do that help the environment.
