Like the Great Works dishware that I mentioned earlier, the Graf-von-Faber-Castell Walden Woods roller-ball pen celebrates a literary legacy. The Walden Woods pen is created of ash wood that was salvaged from naturally fallen trees in Walden Woods and features a Thoreau quote. The cap of the pen is platinum. The pen is limited to a quantity of 2006 and retails for $600. A percentage of the sales will be donated to the Walden Woods Project and will also enable American Forests to plant a tree for each pen sold.

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches

The 2006 Faber-Castell pen of the year uses mammoth ivory as its special component. The pen of the year always uses an exotic materials, past years have brought us pens with amber and stingray leather. This year's pen has a disc of mammoth ivory in the cap and the body of the pen is designed so that the white of the ivory is set against ebony for contrast. The 18K gold nib is ‘run in’ by hand and is available in three widths and the cap has a spring-loaded metal clip. Then pen comes in an ivory-colored wooden box and bears the signature of the craftsman Jurgen Schott.
