Hive Fountain Pen – Handmade from Irish Walnut with Antique Brass Trim

Designed for those with a creative spirit, the Hive pen range combines craftsmanship, heritage, and functionality in a gift meant to be used and cherished. Handcrafted from premium Irish Walnut and accented with antique brass honeycomb detailing, this fountain pen makes a daily companion that reflects thoughtfulness and individuality.

Its lightweight design ensures comfortable handling for all hand sizes, while the honeycomb trim adds both visual interest and writing stability. The unique profile of the Hive pen draws attention to the beautifully grained Irish Walnut—the centrepiece of this heirloom-quality writing instrument.

Irish Walnut is prized for its natural durability, rich texture, and exceptional depth of colour. With tones that resemble smooth milk chocolate and complex, moody undertones, each pen reveals a distinctive grain pattern, as unique as a fingerprint. We carefully hand-turn, sand, and polish each piece to a high gloss finish that protects the timber and highlights its inherent beauty.

Ink Compatibility & Writing Performance

The Hive fountain pen features a precision-engineered size 5 bi-colour medium steel nib manufactured in Germany for a smooth, uninterrupted writing experience.
Accepts international standard ink cartridges & converters.

Each pen is supplied with a black ink cartridge and a reusable converter, allowing the user to enjoy the flexibility of bottled ink.

Sustainable Writing, Thoughtful Gifting

Plastic biros contribute to billions of discarded pens each year. Choosing a refillable handmade pen supports sustainability while celebrating Irish craftsmanship.
