What is Ultem?

The material Ultem, aka PEI (Polyetherimide), is able to be machined thinner than most acrylic and yet will be stronger than acrylic to resist damage from accidental drops or other mishaps. It is super lightweight and yet durable, making it an excellent material for a fountain pen.

Cleaning

What chemicals can I use to clean this pen? Soap and water or Alcohol is fine on this material for deep cleaning.

What chemicals should I not use? Windex and cleaners with Ammonia based chemistry. It has been brought to my attention that some pen flush has ammonia - use that only on the nib/feed. It is easy to unscrew the nib unit from the grip for cleaning purposes.

What is Sashiko?

Sashiko is a traditional Japanese stitching method dating back to the 1600s. Like a fountain pen, it is both practical and beautiful, an exercise in sustainability. What does something look like when we keep it close year after year? Sashiko is one answer. A well-loved fountain pen is another. These types of objects are what I find most compelling in design and in life.
