Graf von Faber Castell Classic Ebony Fountain Pen

The Classic writing implements are available with a finely fluted barrel made of expressive grained macassar, matt black ebony, reddish brown pernambuco or dark brown grenadilla wood. These precious woods, which are normally used for violin bows, are extremely hard and durable, and correspondingly difficult to work. Thanks to their natural differences in grain and colour every writing instrument made from them is unique. The classic models aren't just visually striking. They are also functional: thanks to their slender shape, they lie comfortably in the hand, while complex mechanisms such as a spring-loaded clip ensure that they are enjoyable to use and have an equally timeless design. Each writing instruments is presented in a chamois-colored linen bag and an attractive solid wooden case.
