Important Note: The making process of True Ebonite fountain pens requires many handcrafting steps. Therefore, the thickness of the pen will vary slightly along the pen body and the cap's finial. Each pen is different from one to another. We hope that you will embrace this point as a unique trait and special characteristic of the product.

TESTIMONIALS

With a great fountain pen, you can write many beautiful things and amazing ideas. And from there, many good things are believed to come.

We hope that with our Dream Pen, many dreams will be written about and become true.

True Ebonite

Ebonite is a great material made from natural rubber with a durable, warm, and luxurious feel for handwriting. Ebonite was originally used to make fountain pens in the early 20th century. However, due to its complexity in production, it was later abandoned by most manufacturers in favor of various plastics, which were easier to work with.

Today, as a homage to traditional pen manufacturing, we are honored to restore Ebonite as the material of all of our pens.

The True Ebonite fountain pen is a combination of vintage materials and minimal design. Japanese premium Ebonite material is used and crafted into your fountain pen with the highest precision. Hold your True Ebonite fountain pen and feel the best quality material for writing instruments.

Silk-Black Ebonite Review

"I received my silk-black ebonite fountain pen with the black brass fitting and the Shogan extra-fine nib. The construction of the pen is flawless, and the gold Shogan nib is beyond perfect, especially for me, who has to write, sometimes for hours at a time. I would highly recommend this pen. If possible, I would give it a higher rating than the maximum five stars. I would also commend the customer service who were very helpful and immediate in assisting me. Also, the delivery was very speedy through Japan Post, so there was no added expense of sending it by courier. I usually write using a couple of vintage Cartier Pasha fountain pens. The construction of the pen and the writing quality are parallel, or even better than, these pens, which are four times the cost of this pen. Ut vwill be my go-to pen now."

My new favourite

"I have several ebonite dream pens and this one is my favourite. This is luxurious and very solid at the same time. I do have the Shogun nib on it which gives it an entirely extra level of luxury. I recommend both!"
