Please note that due to the properties of the material, it is impossible for the patterns and even coloration of a Tsuno Fountain Pen to be identical to another. As a result, if you would like to request a specific Tsuno Fountain Pen from the product photos, please leave a note at checkout describing your choice, or simply contact us at info@wancher.com directly, where we will be more than happy to assist you with your decision.
For centuries, the Vietnamese people have believed that it is more respectful to animals to maximize and utilize every part. Just like how the Vikings would use whale blubber for soap and candles, the Vietnamese would take something as simple as the horn of a buffalo, and transform it into a work of art. This takes the concept of "zero waste" to an altogether new level - elevating what would normally be thrown away into something desirable.
We first encountered an example of this artwork at a Traditional Arts exhibition in Vietnam, and we were inspired by the artisans and their commitment to using only the most natural of materials for their art. When we discovered that their artform was in danger of being forgotten in the modern day, we knew that it was fate for us to collaborate in creating a new collection of fountain pens crafted from genuine bull horn.
The material, buffalo horn, is ethically sourced, and unlike items made from synthetic materials such as plastic, the crafting process of a pen with bull horn as the base material does not emit harmful or toxic chemicals. Furthermore, as bull horn is formed from keratin, it is 100% biodegradable, and it will not be damaging to the environment in the unlikely event that the item must be disposed.
Material: Buffalo horn
Grip section: Titanium
Filling mechanism: Converter or Cartridge (European International Standard, Sailor Standard for Shogun 18K)
Nib: #6 Jowo stainless steel, Wancher 18K gold, Keiryu/Kodachi, Shogun 18K.

The cap is equipped with inner cap to prevent drying nib.
The weight of the Tsuno pen slightly varies between each piece due to its natural material. The following weight measurement is just for reference.
