The Saga Pen

About the Saga Pen

A typical pen is unremarkable and easily overlooked. The Saga does not fit this description. The heart of the Saga pen is the clever ball-lock mechanism; it's simple and elegant to use for those who know how, yet it can be quite a puzzle to the unseasoned user. Once you have unlocked the secret you might find it impossible to put down, and happy to write your own saga with this little piece of engineering art.

Nearly every component is meticulously manufactured by our Canadian team, with only the 2 springs, 3 ceramic balls, and the ink refill being made by expert suppliers.
