USAGE AND CARE

• Pen holder only — nib sold separately.
• The pen holder will gradually lighten to take on a true indigo color with use and handling.
• If the pen holder becomes dry, apply a little beeswax.
• Friction may cause color transfer or the beeswax finish to rub off.
• To avoid warping and discoloration, avoid soaking in water, sudden temperature changes or extreme heat, as well as prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
• When removing the nib from the pen holder, pull it gently while twisting to avoid dislodging the nib holder.
• Due to the nature of the material and processing, the grain and color vary from piece to piece.
• If marked with ink, wipe it with a soft cloth.
• After rinsing, shake well downward to remove any water or ink from the nib holder before inserting a nib.
