Shannon Fountain Pen – Handmade from Irish Black Walnut with Bi-Colour Nib

The Shannon, our fountain pen, pays homage to Ireland's greatest flowing waterway. Flowing with ink, it effortlessly transfers the writer’s thoughts from mind to paper with poetic ease. Crafted with precision and purpose, it is a celebration of elegant Irish design and natural beauty.

Whether resting on a desk, nestled in a journal, or commanding a presence in a boardroom, Shannon’s refined silhouette and rich walnut grain create a statement of distinction. Each pen is a tactile reminder of the meaningful gift it represents—one that will be treasured for years to come.

This pen is turned from Irish-grown Black Walnut. Though not native to Ireland, the tree thrives in its climate, and the richly toned, chocolate-coloured grain makes it a favourite among fine furniture makers. In our hands, it becomes a luxurious writing instrument—balanced, beautiful, and sustainable.
