The Polaris is an artistic style with a knurled twist cap that advances and retracts the Parker style ink refill. The Polaris is made from a single piece of wood that is about 50% longer than the single pieces on most other 2-piece pens. Overall it is a bit shorter than most pens, which makes it fit the hand nicely and is well balanced, making writing with this pen a pleasure.

Buckeye Burl, Aesculus glabra, is a tree that grows predominately in Ohio and other parts of the Ohio Valley. The buckeye tree is medium sized, reaching less than 100 feet with a trunk diameter of up to three feet. Its wood is relatively light in weight as well as color. When burl is part of its composition, dark areas are also prominent. Sometimes, as is prevalent in this beautiful piece, the burl includes red toned "eyes" that really set the wood apart. The dark burl markings generally swirl thru the lighter wood making this wood look more like bone or horn, rather than wood.

The rich grey/black tones really compliment the gunmetal color of the clip, tip and cap.

Comes in a black leatherette gift box.
