 Unique, Custom Made Writing Instruments The El Torro pen offers a unique style and flair in a collector’s grade pen. A simple, tapered design. The short body fits nicely in a shirt pocket. Yet, when the cap is posted, the pen has excellent balance. The El Torro pen has a style of its own. The insets on the end caps and center bands are plated in Platinum. The pen clip has a genuine Swarovski crystal. All pen components are metal, not plastic. The fountain pen features a top quality, German-made 22k gold and rhodium plated nib with genuine iridium point for smooth writing and dependable ink flow. The material is a beautiful Alabaster Tru-Stone with gold webbing. It has been finished and polished by hand to a gem quality luster. TruStone is a beautiful material made from a combination of crushed semi-precious stones, combined with other natural pigments and materials which are then subjected to tremendous heat and pressure. This results in a material still "hard as a rock" but workable with a lathe. It has the look and the cool feel of stone, and is difficult to distinguish from the real stone. The results of a pen made with this material is one that has a nice heft to it, a brilliant sheen and texture and an interesting appearance. The El Torro pen is designed for use with the cap attached to the pen. It is perfectly balanced and writes effortlessly. The El Torro pen accepts standard fountain pen cartridge refills. They are available at most office supply stores. Because of the short lower barrel, an ink converter will not fit. You must use a cartridge for this pen. If you need additional refills, I have a small supply available for purchase. All pens are handcraft by me in my workshop. The pen you see in the listing is the pen you will receive. There are more than 20 steps involved in making a finished pen. I use more than forty different types of woods and materials from around the world. This pen was made from a solid piece of wood or material with the grain oriented to match between the two barrels of the pen. It was turned by hand on a lathe. Your El Torro pen will be presented in its own wooden box with velvet lining.
With daily use, your pen will darken. To clean and restore the gloss, simply buff with a high quality furniture wax. I use Renaissance wax. My pens are a joy to collect and also make excellent gifts.
