This magnificent pen was made to my specifications by Rudy Lee, founder and master penmaker of Fine Writing International, an artisanal workshop and brick and mortar shop in Taipei. It is long yet eminently comfortable. The body is made of Madagascar (dark) rosewood, whose trade is now strictly restricted. The cap cannot be posted, and each end has a finial made of post-ban ivory. The nib is 18k yellow gold, and the pen has a cartridge converter.
