Bog Oak O-Ring Ballpoint Pen – Engineering Style with Ancient Irish Heritage

Engineered for comfort and designed with purpose, this pen pairs tactile satisfaction with timeless Irish tradition. The O-ring wrapped grip provides a soft, non-slip hold, while the hexagonal nut-shaped clicker delivers a distinctive mechanical aesthetic — ideal for automotive, engineering, or design enthusiasts.

But what truly sets this pen apart is the material: Irish Bog Oak, over 5,000 years old, preserved in Ireland’s peaty soil and darker than most hardwoods — a wood older than the pyramids. Each pen is lovingly hand-finished using the same natural oils used by Bog Oak sculptors, preserving its deep colour and organic texture.

Key Features:

• Crafted from 5,000-year-old Irish Bog Oak
• Bright chrome trim with O-ring grip for enhanced comfort
• Nut-shaped click mechanism for an industrial design feel
• Fitted with a Swiss-made Black ink Parker-style ballpoint refill
• Refillable – compatible with Parker-type ballpoint refills
• Presented in a complimentary satin-lined pen case
• Optional upgrade to an engraved wooden presentation box
• Hand-turned in our Kells, Co. Meath workshop

Sustainability Meets Legacy

By choosing a handmade, refillable pen over disposable plastic biros, you make a sustainable choice that helps reduce landfill waste. This pen isn’t just an accessory — it’s a story, a statement, and a symbol of quality craftsmanship.

A Complete Luxury Gift Experience

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. This saves you the cost of gift wrapping!
Accompanying each pen is a detailed fact sheet, accessible via a discreet QR link on a card included with the pen. The fact sheet offers insights into the pen’s craftsmanship, the story of the bog oak, and care instructions, enriching the gifting experience for the recipient.
