How it writes

The Ferrule is the pen we write our own order slips with. The nib is steel and stiff, so the line stays the width you chose no matter how hard the day has been. It starts on the first touch, even after a weekend capped on the desk.

The barrel is turned from a single bar and finished by hand. It is light enough to forget about and long enough to post the cap without tipping your hand back.

Choose the nib by your handwriting, not by what sounds clever. Small letters and margins want EF. Most people write F. M lays down enough ink to show what an ink can do.

The Ferrule M writing its own name, live, in Harbour Blue on Rag.
