Our Shannon fountain pen is named after the largest river in Ireland; this fountain pen will impress any connoisseur of fountain pen writing. Like a river of ink, the pen carries the thoughts and creativity of its user from consciousness to paper effortlessly.

Resting on a writing desk, nestled in a notebook or sitting staunchly on a writing pad on a meeting or board room table, this Shannon fountain pens design and the detail in the wood we used to make it unique, a gift that will impress its user and will be noticed by those who see it in use. The gift you gave will be remembered every time this fountain pen is held and its ink flows.

He was making your pen special, rare, and unique also! This pen is made with Irish Grown Elm; the Elm came originally from the midlands of Ireland; we got the wood from a clockmaker who retired and had Elm offcuts from over 30 years of working in his stores, too small for his work but perfect for our pens. So not only is the wood special because of its origin, but it is scarce indeed.

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. Open 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 landfills every year.

Please give one of our fountain pens with our ink pump, and 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 place them 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.

Your pen gift is presented in our deluxe gifting package

• Luxurious pen gift box
• Detail card on the wood used in the pen
• Instruction card
• Ink pump and ink cartridges so the pen can be used on the receipt
• A personal note from Catherine and Richard Daly

Enhance your pen gift with an exceptional pen box. Our clients worldwide have asked us for a wooden gift/presentation box for our pens; as Rosewood is a protected species, we collaborated with a local expert cabinetmaker to craft a solid Irish Oak pen box.

• 180mm long | 70mm wide | 50mm high | 220 gm | baize fabric lined base | antique brass hinge
• The box is wrapped in branded tissue paper and then wrapped in a recyclable card to protect it during shipping. This is a 100% environmental option for that exceptional pen gift box.

The pen pictured was handmade by us; your pen will be of the same wood; as no two wood pieces are the same, your certainty is that your pen will be unique. Like the pen pictured, we will select the most exciting wood to craft your pen from. It takes us about three days to prepare a pen.
