We heartily thank the doctors, nurses, lab technicians, and support staff at the Philippine General Hospital for their commitment and courage to serve our people stricken with corona virus. Thanks, too, to the Fountain Pen Network for the auctions; for the opportunity to support our heroes.
The Kasama Copper & Kamagong with a medium steel nib
The pen is a product of crafty machining and thoughtful fusion of metal and wood. Sometimes referred to as ironwood, kamagong wood could be carved into hair combs and other intricate ornaments. For this pen the molecular structure that gives the wood its rigidity allows the barrel to be threaded to precision to securely screw into the copper grooves of the pen cap.
The indented barrel makes for a nice hold, to angle the nib to a smooth touch on the paper and extrude a gentle flow of ink, and reveal the themed imprint on the nib.
The metal and wood combination gives it a hefty 124 grams. (The MB Meisterstuck 146 Le Grand comes in at merely 32.) It will probably not make it an everyday carry but it will surely be within easy reach -- to write anything, just anything -- for to use it is a delight.
"May I borrow the nice pen, please? Can you bring it over here?," my wife messaged me. Did she purposely omit "your" to hint an impending transfer of ownership? To ask (why the omission) is to probably part with it, don't you think?
