Brier is a small deciduous tree, scientifically known as Erica arborea. It belongs to the heath family and is native to the Mediterranean region. It is also called the “gem tree” for its bright colour, shine and intricately beautiful wood grain with unique swirls that weave fascinating patterns. It is extremely hard, durable and heat-resistant, making it suitable for producing writing instruments and smoking pipes.
The Sailor King of Pens Brier Fountain Pen is crafted from chunks of brier trunks aged 25 to 100 years, and is popular for its exquisite wood grain patterns. It is a rare piece to cherish more and more over the years, with beauty that matures with usage and age.
A limited edition of 300 pieces, the pen barrel and cap feature brier wood and the grip section is made from PMMA resin. Each pen is fitted with KOP size 21k gold nib (gold with rhodium plating and available in nib size M). The pen fills using cartridge/converter. An exclusive gift box and a 50ml black ink bottle accompany the KOP.
