Here is the perfect gift to conjure up the knights, soldiers and kings of medieval history and the lore of the battlefields of the Middle Ages. The meticulously handcrafted components feature period armor adornment including a medieval sword, a hand riveted replica knights helmet with a dome recess on the end, plus a fluted armor design on the pen tip. The rustic, authentic look of this antique brass pairs beautifully with clear maple burl. We have taken quality brass plating and chemically darkened it to simulate aged brass, which results in a gorgeous, long lasting brown plating with golden undertones.

Our Whiskey barrel pen blanks are made from whiskey barrels once used by the Jack Daniel's(R) Distillery. These charred Tiger Oak whiskey barrels used for aging Old No. 7 Whiskey(R). The whiskey is aged in these barrels for 4 years. We then salvage the used barrels, remove the steel bands and disassemble the staves. Finally, we cut the staves into pen blanks. Each blank comes with its own certificate of authenticity.

As a world renowned artisan, I was able to form this fine writing instrument through a painstaking process that involved several hours and stages in order to present a finely polished work of art. The blank was measured and drilled before inserting a brass tube. It was then trued on each end before being placed on my Delta midi-lathe for the shaping using various chisels. When the desired shape was achieved I then took it through a multi-stage sanding process finishing with nine steps of micro-mesh, followed by a three step polishing resulting in a glass like finish.

This fine writing instrument is destined to provide years of pleasure for the discriminating user. Its unique, one-of-a-kind design will speak volumes to your individuality, knowing that you are carrying the pride of handmade craftsmanship that is often lacking in a world of duplicity.
