Description of this particular pen:
Made from 100% Real Carbon Fiber 3K Aerospace +45/-45 Biaxial Weave
Don't be fooled by others selling carbon fiber pens,most of them are merely carbon fiber laminate under a plastic sleeve
We firstwrap 100% real carbon fiber sleeves around a brass tube they are then stretched, then a first application of resin to allow outgassing and hardening for at least 24 hours, then cast into resin blocks and another 24 hour wait, after all that they are hand turned on a lathe and several steps of polishingand then assembled, a labor intensive process to get to the end product you see here, I show a piece of the actual carbon fiber sleeve in pictures above we use to make this pen
Black Real Carbon Fiber Weave Impregnated and Cast with Hard Resin
Several Steps for Final Finishing for Super High Gloss
Hard Chrome with Knurling Heavy Metal Parts
1 Piece Design with Turn End Knurl to Retract Mechanism
Ballpoint
Turn pen body to retract/extract pen point
These use a Parker Style Ballpoint refill, the one that comes inside the pen is a black ink medium ballpoint style
To change out refill you unscrew at the knurled nib (grippy knurled metal part near pen point) and then remove and replace with a new cartridge should you need to change it
They also make parker style gel ink rollerball type refills for parker style ballpoint pens, so even this pen if you so choose, you could buy/install one of those types of refills instead of a ballpoint refill, they are called Parker Quink model # 30525PP
These are maintenance free pens however if you choose to clean them just use a damp soapy rag then dry with soft cloth, you can also use a paste wax if you would like on entire pen, we suggest Johnsons Paste Wax for Wood, Plastics etc its very inexpensive for a large can
We start with raw dry unprocessed wood and do our own in house processing of all the woods we use, we do not simply buy pen sized wooden blanks and make pens from them, the process is quite extensive ,watch the video below to get a better understanding on our process

General Information
I am told that I have LARGE hands and indeed can never find gloves that fit.  This pen is most often described as "masculine".  It is thicker than most pocket style pens, and as such it has a very comfortable feel for me.   So I would classify the pocket style pen as best suited to large handed men or anyone who has trouble with arthritis or other hand afflictions.  Oops, I forgot that nurses and doctors prefer this ballpoint pen - why I don't know; but they do.
While a common or exotic wood are often used to craft artisan pens; we like the look that can only be achieved through burled or rayed woods.  So whether our burls and woods come from dry Australian stream beds, the swamps of Wisconsin, the coast of the Pacific Northwest; or from Africa; you can be assured of conversational piece of wood being used in your artisan pen.
We have been crafting artisan writing instruments for well over a decade.  And during that time we have discovered that people do not use strangely shaped pens.  So we craft our pens to the traditional shapes and then we use an eleven step finishing process.  While a cloth buffing will often restore a dull finish, eventually even our durable finishes will be worn away to the bare wood.
Another couple of tips after years of selling pens.  Close to 80% of ladies prefer dark colored woods; while men are evenly divided on their light vs dark colored wood preferences.  Thick pens are better writing instruments for people with sore, arthritic, or crippled hands.  If you have to write through multiple copies then purchase a ball point pen.  We find that artistic, poetic, or romantically inclined people prefer fountain pens.  While the rest of the world loves the smooth flowing but non-running ink of the rollerball pen.  Lastly, remember that you can actually buy ink refills in almost any color of the rainbow.  So have fun and enjoy your pen!
