I’ve wanted one of Eric Sands<\/a>‘ raden-esque pens for years. I’d hoped to request a commission, only to discover, once I finally asked, that he was no longer accepting them. Several times after that, I saw a pen that I would have liked, but I was always too slow to get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, last year, Jim and I made it to the San Francisco Pen Show<\/a>. The Atelier Lusso table was my second stop of the show, and I was able to snag this beauty. Clearly, I’m WAY behind on my pen porn posts, and I desperately need to catch up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, when I include one, let’s start with the 360\u00b0 views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Metalwork<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The trim is all in bronze, with, per Eric himself, a “shredded” bronze clip. The texture on the clip is quite nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But, honestly, the star of this pen is the materials. The shell \u2014 Rose Pink and Seafoam Awabi \u2014 and the resins \u2014 Ghost Wasabi with a Ghost Pink center band \u2014 are beautifully matched. I did my best to catch the shifting colors in the awabi \u2014 AKA abalone \u2014 but photos really don’t do this pen justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the Taurus is larger than the pens I usually buy, I’m so happy I was able to add this one to my collection. It’s truly a masterpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
