The Chiselling Process
The pen is chiselled to create intricate and beautiful designs providing a tactile experience when writing with the pen.
The Lacquering Process
The pen is delicately lacquered to create a multitude of different effects, from a satin, glossy or matte finish to a range of eye-catching colours and finishes. Each individual pen is checked by hand to ensure it lives up to the quality expected by Parker.
The Lasering Process
The body or cap of the pen is finely lasered with delicately crafted patterns to create a stylish finish.
A small ball of iridium is added to the base to allow the ink to transfer smoothly to paper before a slit is cut in the nib, by the tip of a diamond no thicker than a hair, to separate the nib and allow the ink to flow.
Comprising 12 individual stages during manufacturing, the most prestigious nibs are quality-control checked and fine-tuned by hand to ensure maximum performance.
