Crafted from native Irish Oak

Irish Oak is traditionally associated with strength, endurance, and heritage. Each pen is hand-turned, sanded, and polished in our Kells workshop, preserving the wood’s natural grain and warm tone.

Every pen is unique, with natural variations in pattern and colour ensuring a one-of-a-kind finish.

Maritime-inspired design

The chrome nautical trim reflects the timeless symbolism of the sea. The anchor represents stability, the ship’s wheel symbolises direction, and the rope detailing connects the design to traditional seamanship.

This combination makes the pen particularly suitable for sailing enthusiasts, maritime professionals, and those with a connection to the sea.

Reliable writing performance

Fitted with a Swiss-made Parker-style ballpoint refill, the pen delivers smooth, consistent ink flow for everyday writing tasks. The refill system is internationally standardised, ensuring easy replacement anywhere in the world.
