Today I am showing you a "kiseru" style fountain pen made of water buffalo horn.
Before I made it I was investigting on buffalo horn and read in old books, that water buffalo horn is a very difficult field.
Buffalo horn is a material that extends and shrinks and reacts to humidity and light.
It is said, that water buffalo horn that comes from regions near the aequator is considered the best and most stabile and durable.
So I directly ordered some round bars from a supplier in Sumatra(one good thing about internet)
Now I have to wait and see how this pen is developing. Today I don't dare to carry them in my sales program.
Does anyone has experience with buffalo horn pens?
Thank you
Martin
