Krug L.E. | |||
| The Krug LE is only available as a rollerball. The fountain pen has been discontinued. | |||
 |
|||
| Made from the oak staves used by Krug to hold their wine, this pen evokes the look of a wine barrel. Those with imagination can smell the aged champagne. A simple leaf and vine pattern is engraved on the pocket clip. At 5 3/4" long, capped, and with a barrel diameter of 5/8", this is a generously sized pen. | |||
 | |||
| Without including the end caps, this
pen has three bands, bringing to mind the bands that hold barrels together. Omas
has solved a problem that plagued their wood pens in the past. Because wood is
an organic material that shrinks and expands with changes in humidity, it was
vulnerable to cracking, especially at the cap lip and at the edge of the barrel.
This pen is banded at the cap lip and secured at the barrel edge greatly minimizing
this possibility. Although oak is a very hard wood, care must be taken with all
wood pens to avoid staining them with ink. | |||
| With permission from and thanks to our friend, Vince Grosso, who purchased the first Krug from us, we know that a few coats of Renaissance Wax will help protect this natural wood grain from incidental stains and hand oils. The change to the surface is hardly noticable. If you would like us to apply Dorlands art wax before we send the pen we'll be happy to do so. ($25) Just let us know. | |||
| |||
Notice the barrel like taper to both the cap and body of this pen. This is a shape departure from most OMAS pens. | |||
 |
Provided with a custom two-tone nib, sporting the Krug
"K" in 18 K solid gold, this pen is available in Extra-fine,
Fine, Medium or Broad.
