Oak Handmade Pen with Broad Grip

Oak handmade pen with a broad grip and narrow waist making it easy to hold.  The pen has a retractable tip and black ink. Twisting the body brings the tip forward/back.  The pen has been handmade from oak by woodturning.  The wood has not been treated so you can feel the unevenness of the grain.  It will probably change colour a little with time and use.  The oak gives a lovely grain pattern.  The end, clip and centre are pale gold coloured.

I find this pen very easy to hold.  The narrow centre (waist) means it sits nicely in my hand.  However, it does narrow down to the tip so if you need a wide tip, this one might not be ideal.  It weighs 25 grams, compared to a biro at 5g, parker 12g, generic retractable 10g or zebra zero grip 9g.  So it’s a little heavier than a plastic pen.

I have a selection of handmade, broad pens on this website.  A local, talented woodturner has made these pens for Hobby Aids.  I wanted to stock some pens that were broader because if you have knobbly hands they might be comfier to use, but I also wanted pens that looked good.  To me, it’s important to have a pen you’re proud to own and use.
