The Olympian Elite series fountain and gel roller pens are crafted with excellence in mind. These pens are robust and fit wonderfully in even the largest of hands. The fountain and gel roller encourage a lighter touch resulting in more control. These pens have a twist off cap, threaded to fit, and are post-able with a friction fit. The center bands and end bands are crafted with a geometric design reminiscent of Aztec or other Central American art forms. Available in both Rhodium and Gold Titanium platings, these pens stand out as quality and serve to make a statement.
The fountain pens use either disposable ink cartridges available at your local office supply store, or refillable cartridges, available for an extra $2 on request. The gel roller pens use a standard gel refill available at office supply stores, and some mass retailers.
Any fountain may be converted to a gel roller, or vice-versa as per your request. Gel rollers subtract $5 from fountain costs, and fountains add $5 to gel roller costs. These are large pens.
Olympian Elite Fountain Pen - Purpleheart, Rhodium - $50
Purpleheart is a flowering tree native to Central and South America. It is unique in that it's heartwood turns from brown, to deep purple after being exposed to UV light. The wood darkens more over time if exposed to more sunlight, only adding to the richness and depth of beauty. A slight taper at each end of the wood allows for slightly more of the material to show, but does not inhibit the holdability of the pen. This is a large pen.
Olympian Elite Fountain Pen - Bethleham Olivewood, Rhodium - $52
Olive wood trees from the ancient city of Bethlehem, Israel (also known as Roman trees) have been bearing fruit since the time of the Romans. Many religious, historical, and artistic articles are made from this beautiful wood. The striking figure sets magnificently against the stark Rhodium and black of the hardware. A popular material for pastors or minsiters, Bethleham olivewood makes for one of my personal favorite natural materials available. This is a large pen.
Olympian Elite Gell Roller Pen - Camphor Burl, Gold Titanium - $45
Camphor Laurel is a large evergreen tree found in Asia. The naturally occuring chemicals in Camhpro Laurel are used for everything from bug repellants, to medicines, to candy flavoring. A burl is essentially a deformed growth of the grain in a tree. It may form in the roots, lower trunk, or higher in a slit or crotch. The results are the striking colors and grain patterns you see in this instrument. Although this pen has been sealed and finished, you can still catch a faint hint of the odor so common to older generations. This is a large pen.
Olympian Elite Fountain Pen - White Marble, Rhodium - $55
Trustone is a synthetic stone, made from 85% real stone. It is ground into a fine powder and impregnated with resin to result in a workable form of the original stone. The finished product is indistinguishable from the natural stone it is made of. This white marble stands out and feels weighty and cold as stone. The balance of the pen as a result is extraordinary and ends with a wonderful feel for a light hand. The Rhodium plating continues the monochromatic look of this instrument with striking results. This is a large pen.
Olympian Elite Gell roller Pen - Crushed Yellow Acrylic, Rhodium - $47
Canary yellow acrylic jumps from this pen and stands out from the crowd. The light acrylic and featherweight nature of the Olympian pens comine for an extremely light pen for it's size. Turned and sanded through 12,000, the acrylic shines with a remarkable depth, accented with the Rhodium plated hardware. This is a large pen.
Olympian Elite Fountain Pen - Dakota Burl, Gold Titanium - $50
Dakota burl is a synthetic blank made from crushed and laminated sunflower seed shells. Each blank is made of thousands of fragments of shell, pressed and adhered to result in the cascade of color and lines seen in this pen, set nicely against the Gold Titanium hardware. This is a large pen.
Opympian Elite Gel Roller - Huisacce, Rhodium - $45
Huisacce? Huisacce is a desert climate shrub/bush known to grow in central Texas, as well as New Mexica and Arizona. Knarled and twisty, it is very hard to find a usable piece of wood from even the largest of bushes, but when found, it results in the striking grain patterns and contrast seen above. This wood shares characteristics with a few other woods, in that UV rays change the color of the wood, in this case from brown, to deep green. A truly unique pen that always brings surprises upon discovery of the nature of the material. This is a large pen.
