Imperfect Oblique Pen

Bargain-hunting calligraphers (and calligraphy beginners) rejoice! TPK’s imperfect pens are 100% functional, but they have little flaws here and there. A few things to note:

• I examine all pens personally to ensure that they can write just as well as any “perfect” pen
• For a “Pretty in Pink” oblique pen, imperfections might include something like an exposed air bubble or chip
• Typical wooden oblique imperfections include uneven ridges from the lathe or chipped wood
• The imperfection might not be in the pen at all, but in the flange — sometimes the brass is discolored or otherwise flawed
• The exact imperfection will vary from pen to pen; the examples pictured should give you a general idea of what to expect
