****Winner of the 2021 Pen World Reader's Choice Awards POY - Pen of the Year !
This was a design we call the Diamondtree, and is sold out. It's an Asian themed tree made of platinum dust with mother of pearl diamond shapes. Designed by S.C. Franklin and maki-e artwork by Katsunobu Nishihara.
- The base pen is our Model 40 Panther, one of our earliest designs with the long cap feature. Most Panthers have a band in the cap, but this one is one long solid piece, a perfect landscape for the tree.
6 layers of urushi in tree work. (Hira Maki-e style)
- #6 nib size.
Not recommended to post.
- Edition is limited to 51 pieces, which will be made 13-15 at a time, with the edition planned to finish in mid 2020.
Starting price is $850 with a factory steel nib.
- Free global shipping.
Each pen comes in a Franklin-Christoph single pen zippered pouch, with converter and paperwork included.
- The Diamondtree is featured on the cover of the 2019 Pen World Magazine.
